-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.
Kabam - other ESC don't have reverse but instead a BRAKE and Drag brake profile..

Kabam - they are right.. Are you familiar with the osciloscope?.. with that equipment these are call as SIGNAL.. Hope we all help you figure out what an ESC is all about as wel as its function in the kit. Bottomline is its the Brain of your kit and the motor is the heart.
