Motor direction is not the issue
steering servo is too sensitive to the wheel on the transmitter
I would experiment with steering delay and steering speed (turn and return) and steering curve / expo settings.
Steering delay /speed should fix your issue.
I would always recalibrate the esc if I bind a new radio/receiver or rebind it, try recalibrating and see if it fixes it.
If not, make sure throttle trims are set to 0 or center. If you have the 8X you can go into calibration and calibrate the trigger so its calibrated to know there neutral is.
go into channel reverse if on the 8x
if on the 4gs or 6gs go to REV
change CH2 or TH to reverse
should be fixed
If on the RC8X:
Go into the main menu, go to Channel reverse (should be under basic settings)
Switch CH2 to reverse (or if already on reverse switch it back to normal)
And it...
