I mean that in forward it runs full throttle and theres a pause befor the ESC will go in reverse and the defult is 50% throttle force. So when you say it runs without delay and fast in reverse, but theres a delay in forward and if its not quite as fast then its backwards. URGG...I wish you where right down the street and Id have you all squared up! Im going to PM you my phone number. Maybe I could be of more help while talking directly to you! Call me! YGPM
