Default Maclan M32T Pro 160 - Cal issues

Hi folks, this is my first of many posts I hope to be making as i get back into the RC hobby. I will try to stick to the specifics and not ramble too much.

Radio/Receiver: Futaba 7PX running in T-FHSS "SR" mode, R334SBS receiver
ESC: Maclan M32T Pro 160
Car: Yokomo MO 2.0

I have been back and forth over email with Maclan (Cameron) on this issue for going on 2 weeks now. We don't seem to be getting anywhere.

I do not have an issue following the cal process for the ESC. The problem is the ESC keeps calibrating neutral to -7%. EVERY TIME. I have attempted recalibrating and collecting log files I would argue at least 30x and am about to call Amain and simply return the Maclan products I purchased and go with Hobbywing (My 1/8 scale setup). I have sent my setup file, log files, photos, even have a video of my cal process. For some reason, even though i recalibrated and verified my 7PX trigger to be dead 0%, the Maclan ESC keeps thinking I am at -7%. The result is I cannot get the neutral (drag) brake to function on the Yokomo. My Kyosho MP9e with an Xerun ESC was super easy to calibrate. Not the Yokomo. I even swapped out receivers, disabled "SR" mode, etc. Problem is not the receiver or the protocol I am using.

I am out of spit with ideas. I have another Maclan ESC coming for my vintage JRxPro SE and am worried I am going to have the same problem. I welcome your advice. Again, I am not dummy with electronics, so I am willing to say human error doesn't seem to be a factor here.

Thanks for your help.
