This receiver has a BEC circuit, but you have to connect an external battery for it to function. Don't think this is the issue.
For some reason the ESC is not reading a value from the transmitter that it deems appropriate for neutral.
First make sure the throttle EPA setting on the transmitter for both L and H are set to 10. Second make sure the throttle trim is centered. If I remember correctly on this transmitter, the wheel doesn't have an indicator to let you know when it's centered. You might have to turn it both ways and count the notches to figure it out. You could also temporarily connect your servo to Ch2, power it on and observe where the servo horn is (it should be centered within the travel range)
