Default Futaba Reverse Issue

I just built my buggy and installed my MMM/2200kv setup on a Futaba 4PL.

I know I have to reverse the servo channel as with all Futaba radios. But what got me was the esc/motor after I properly calibrated it to my TX. For some reason the buggy will not brake then reverse. It will go into full reverse when I apply brakes.

So I used my CastleLink and set it to "reverse w/proportional lock out" but same issue...it does not see a wait before going into reverse. So then I set the motor orientation to reverse and reversed the throttle channel on my TX. Now it acts the way I want it to. It will brake to a stop and then reverse.

But now I'm running my motor in reverse and also my TX in reverse channel. Will this hurt anything?

Here's a pic of my setup:
