The GTX is a relatively high-end racing esc...I would be AMAZED if it has reverse capability.
In fact I just jumped to Novak's site...I was pretty sure it wouldn't have reverse, now I'm completely sure. The spec chart lists 7 programs for forward and zero for reverse and the GTX product description makes no mention of reverse nor does it show up in the "features" tables.

This was one of the sites I saw

"Maximum Discrete Steps: 2600 (1300/Forward, 1300/Reverse) "
*sigh*

Mooshu,
Unfortunately GTX does NOT have reverse!
It is a forward/brake racing ESC!

Hey Steve again,
I just got my GTX from another user on this forum... and it is not going in reverse. I programmed it as it says in the directions, where I hold the setup button with transmitter on, turn on the GTX, wait for solid red to pull the throttle and hold until the light turns green, and then pushed to full brake until the light blinked green.
I know I just explained what you already know to you, but i wanted to make sure you knew I knew I was setting it up correctly (hopefully).
I read that the GTX has reverse a few places, and am not sure why this one isn't working. It registers that the brake is on by the blinking green light. Is this a common problem?
Thanks a ton!

Thanks guys.
I basically vented my anger by sending an email to Hobby people .net, who say the ESC has "Maximum Discrete Steps: 2600 (1300/Forward, 1300/Reverse) " and that their description has false info.
This is an awesome ESC though... Incredibly smooth, not to mention powerful!

GTB 4-Cell Spread Spectrum question.
I run just 13.5 in my CRC 3.2 and since I replaced the SS Brushless with the GTB 4-Cell is there anything I can to do on the ESC to make my car faster. I did noticed the ESC cool compared to my old SS. So far I am keeping the ESC in profile 1. It seems more punchy than my dead SS but also smoother if roll onto the trigger. Motor Timing?, 1/12 cars are lighter weight and I guess I could crank a few degrees on the motor.
