Reverse the channel, then recalibrate according to your manual I.e the process in which it has you set neutral, full throttle, full brake set points.

^^ Follow the link and calibrate as stated on page 6 or this video from rcMart may be of use too, it's how to calibrate a Speed Passion Reventon Pro ESC.

On about 90% of escs i have known its goes like this.

Turn it on, but hold the power or program button depresssed, when it blinks, release the button, pull the throttle trig to full throttle and hold (set throttle endpoint)

It should blink or beep, then push the trig to full brake and hold (brake endpoint)

Then it blinks or beeps again and let the trig return to neutral (set neutral center point)

While your esc might be different, this is probably the sequence you should follow.
Thanks everyone for your help. I could set the esc correctly, now i have reverse.
I reversed the channel and followed the video instructions, my mistake was that i was pulling and pushing the trigger after the beeps not before the 2 and 3 beep.

Again, thanks everyone!
