Ok, the setup is on profile 1, I switched to 3, binded the trx and RX, same problem...but see further down

Check the throttle and brake EPA's on the Transmitter are to 100% then rebind the speedo.

Haha, good point Stew, but throttle & brake EPAs are 100%

If that checks out alright, problem could be bind issue or receiver.

So I tried this on profile 1 - forward = steering left, brake = no steering. Then I tried on profile 3, there was no difference previously, ie same problem (see above, following Dandares suggestion), but this time Forward = steering left, brake = steering right...
So this suggests an issue with the TRX or RX and not ESC.
So I need to try a different transmitter as I already tried a different receiver. So if the problem clears with a different TRX the problem is the TRX - sound plausible....?
