I think you would need specific PWM initialization levels during startup to give the ESC the Throttle 'closed'  position. Ever tried to initialize an ESC on wrong channel or on throttle channel with some trims ? Your code should initialize all the ESC properly on power up. Please ensure you include this code module if you are using a community code. If its you all - scratch code, look at the init code on similar platform and implement the same on your project.

The value 890 etc seem to be arrived at via trail and error, using a pot.
