I seem to remember some guys with Futaba radios having issues, which required reversing the throttle channel on their radio to get a good ESC calibration.
Give that a shot.

radio
I tried that already, no dice.

Alright.
When you say your throttle end points are at 100%, do you mean they're at 100 each way, or that they're maxed out?
If they're set at 100, try 115.
Is this your first time calibrating?

Are you holding the mode button while turning on the speedo? If you are pushing the button after it's on, you are just mode selecting therefore not in setup mode.
Also make sure the trim adjustments are centered both in the regular trim and the sub trim settings. I remember the Tekin being quite touchy regarding the correct neutral signal.

esc
not sure, I tried the way the instructions say and also whatevery one here said. No luck with any suggestions, then I thought I would give it 1 more try and it worked.

Not real sure what you're asking.
If you're running boosted, there's no real "compensation" for physical motor timing, it's just another adjustment.
Physical Motor Timing = In effect at all times
Boost = In effect during the designated RPM Range, applied linearly during that range, with max boost kept beyond the END RPM
Turbo = In effect at full throttle, after the delay time [in seconds], applied exponentially based on the ramp setting used.
Obviously, if you're running Blinky, Physical Motor Timing is the only timing adjustment you have.

If say you put a Novak motor in Positive timing (increasing top speed?), could you put the motor back into neutral timing and use the speedo settings compensate and vice versa? and do you gear it right first to compensate then change speedo settings?
I appreciate any comments,

Thanks you Harry!

For gearing, the best bet is to start with a high FDR [slow speed] and then add timing through the ESC.
Before a lot of good profiles people had worked out for the various motors were available, I set my gearing so the car would top out on speed on the shortest straight on the track, then added boost or turbo to get continuous acceleration on the longer straights.
Nowadays, you can take a profile and gearing from a similar motor setup to what you're running, and be pretty safe by starting out lower on the boost and turbo, slowly working your way back up on the settings as you verify temps on each run.

switch
What happens if you cut the switch off the RS? doesnt seem like its needed? can it just be wired together to eliminate the hassle of mounting? i have a battery pack with switch to power up the receiver and servo.
thanks
thanks

No problem, but if you do not have another switch, as soon as you plug your batteries the speedo will be on, so make sure radio is on first and wheels are off the table/ground just in case.

Can anyone see any issues with me doing the battery connections the way I am? In case it's not clear from the picture, I've soldered male bullets onto the RS battery posts and have shrink-wrapped female bullets on the battery wires (hope that makes sense...). Any opinions or concerns? Thanks in advance!
