programming the mgm compro 80a???

[usmcrc]

i tried that for any hour and it didnt work. it doesnt beep after a minute, i timed it. if i turn it on with the throttle in neutral, and then pull the throttle, it beeps once and then the wheels turn. it also wants to randomly go into reverse by itself. i have no idea but this seems almost like it is too difficult. maybe i have the motor leads hooked up incorrectly? what goes where from the mgm 80a to the feigao 8s? do i need the motor not to be hooked up when i am programming the controller? thanks for the help
