Are you sure you re-zeroed your throttle trim? Also, what is your neutral point setting on the Tekin?

To me it sounds like the radio has lost center. The trigger might be at center but the radio is seeing something else. Maybe a bad potentiometer. Try setting a big neutral width on the tekin like at 50 or keep bumping it up till max to see if it improves. good luck. post back with a fix.

if that is the case, in Tekin, when calibrating and the led is just flashing, it means that the neutral of your TX is way above the normal for the RX, adjust the TX neutral ( Zero) then try again.

Please refer to Tekin Manual on troubleshooting Calibration Issues.

The fact that a huge percentage of people on here (and elsewhere for that matter) absolutely fail to recognize proper usage is, well, disappointing to say the least.

Back to the OP- it sounds like if radio settings do not cure your issue, then you need to dial out some drag brake. If you're unsure of how to do this, the best bet is to hit the local track or hobby shop and see if someone can walk you through it. It's not difficult, but can be intimidating if you've never done it and is not easily something you can walk through over the forum.
Well said. I will not tolerate the breakdown of communication. The novelty of engrish.com will soon be lost due to the fact that everyone just accepts all of these syntax and word misuse errors.

Once again it is brAKE not brEAK. If you tried a different transmitter and the problem went away, and when you revert to your transmitter the problem resurfaces, then it is oh so very obviously your transmitter. I mean is it REALLY that hard to understand?

How old is the spektrum transmitter? If it falls within their warranty time frame, call amain an find ou what you need to do for getting it repaired or replaced or a refund. IMHO, Honestly if they replace it under warranty then when you get it back, sell it and buy a different brand. Like an Airtronics mx-v or mx3x, or even a Ko-propo ex5ur if you are looking for a good entry level tx. Maybe even a Futaba 3pl. (not my first choice) These are much better quality radios than spektrum and won't give you problems down the road.
