Default Radio, Receiver or ESC problem?

I'm using a LRP A3-STX Radio and receiver combo, with my TF-5 original KA15 ESC. Today at the track i noticed some issues. Like it didn't seem to be as fast as it should have, also whenever i set the throttle trim, its like the center point keeps moving.

Then later today it started showing up a new problem. Whenever the steering is at 100% L/R the throttle engages.

I've tried reprogramming my esc, but it doesn't seem to be making any changes. The book says the status led is meant to be green for neutral, off for power each direction, red at max throttle or max reverse and during breaking. I cant get it to go red at full throttle on my radio in either forward or reverse, ive even tried setting my EPA on the radio to 120%. I definitely get more power when i do that, but still not 100%.

If I reconnect the original radio, i do get 100% throttle.

Now im not sure where the problem lies, whether it is with the radio, the esc, or maybe the esc doesnt like the radio... Perhaps its because i cant set the esc properly for the new radio???
