Another thing, re-calibrate your ESC, I have had them from time to time be very hard to find reverse in and the reason is the ESC will not allow revers until you were in neutral for a full second. If the ESC has a hard time finding neutral because it needs to be calibrated or because you keep trying to fish for reverse you will just site there and make the lights blink.

The secret to reverse with Tekin products is that your ESC needs to sit idle in neutral for a full second before you can use it. That not only means that proper calibration is big deal, but that means no throttle input for that full second from the radio either.
+1

and a second is longer than you'd think

if you engage reverse too early you'll have to wait one second again and again and again.. and loose a lot of time
