Default SC450 Brushless won't reverse throttle

Got a new B4.1 and I realize there is a 1 second delay for safety before you can engage reverse. However, even after waiting much more than 1 second and sometimes no matter how long I wait, I can't go into reverse. I have adjusted the trim to the far side of forward/reverse and this still does not help.

Anyone know of any ongoing problems with this ESC regarding reverse problems?

Thanks, Rick

Centre your throttle trim
Set your throttle / brake travel (EPA's) at 100%
Calibrate the ESC to your transmitter

ESC probably has a profile that does not have reverse, most do

Read the manual that came with the car

Cheers

You may have to reset the trim down or up to get a "0" nutral position.
