I have an old school Traxxas XL-1 ESC that i thought had forward and reverse but either im wrong, it's messed up, or i just have to program something. It's only got forward no reverse. This is the black ESC with the silver stripe through it and black heat sinks. Any help would be great guys! I really want to use this on an original 90s stampede im restoring.

Here is the manual for it

It at least says that is is capable of reverse, I would suggest going through the "Adjustment" process.

Thank you for that link, ill give it a shot
