Did you download the latest Castle Link software? It will contain the firmware updates for the controllers. That ESC is a whole different animal on version 1.20 so I would try to get the new version.

As to the settings, I too would opt for the reverse lockout to help save your tranny (WOT into reverse is "bad").

No I am downloading it now. I just put the disc in that came with it. I did switch out the reverse function as you both advised. Thanks

lol, I always simply chuck the disc as it is usually outdated. When you go to rev 1.20, you'll see how different the startup routine is. And I would back timing off a bit; the Medusa has enough torque/speed that any addition due to increased timing is not really worth the added heat...

So you think I should set it back to 10? I raised it to 15. The timing that is.

Just the "narrowness" of the neutral range. The narrower it is, the earlier it starts to move with just a slight touch of the throttle.

I would, but I try to set my stuff up so it runs as cool as possible without sacrificing performance. It won't hurt anything to keep it higher (as long as temps are ok), but you don't get a lot of extra output. Keep it higher if you want, just monitor temps and maybe experiment to see which setting gives you the temps and performance you want.
