The instant brakes thing sounds like one of two possibilities:

1: The ESC was not properly calibrated to the ESC, so it saw any brake action as WOB (wide open brake).

2: The ESC was somehow running in reverse when you applied forward throttle. I know that brakes in reverse are more touchy. This would be caused by having the servo reversing setting on the radio set wrong. You'd have to set it the other way and recalibrate the ESC to the radio again. I don't know if it's even possible to have the ESC arm if the throttle is reversed, but something to look into.
