- How come some ESC can reverse and some can't?

Thank you. Any comment will be greatly appreciated.
-Some ESCs do not have reverse because they are used for racing. In racing, you are not allowed to have reverse. If you do have a ESC with reverse, you must turn reverse function off when racing. We have corner or turn marshalls because of this rule.

-The little button is the setup button. Most ESC can be set up with only one button. Some high end ESCs have different profiles. Some for more torque and some for more speed in the top end.
