to me it sounds like you have it bound properly and all but now you need to go through and set up the setting of the esc to function with your radio and motor properly.
none of my cars have ever worked right out of the gate after installing a new esc. I always have had to go through the setting and make it right.

I see your esc has the dead band setting as well as a "minimum drive" setting. which says the following,
" Increasing this setting starts forward drive at a stronger/higher level"

also if that radio has any kind of traction control stuff try turning that stuff off for now.
