From the TBLE-02S instructions here it looks like you should be using ESC yellow for motor + (yellow on the motor) and ESC blue for motor - (green on the motor). Orange then shouldn't be connected.

I know my re-re HotShot manual says to use ESC red or orange for motor +, not yellow, so I assume your Grasshopper manual might be the same, but I guess they don't know what ESC you're going to be using and the kit manual is trying to be generic. Not helpful though!
