Default SIDEWINDER incapable of going to reverse

I have a Axial AX10 with a CC sidewinder+Integy 55T lathe, that no matter how I try does not seem to go into reverse. I bought the castle Link and it seems OK , all parameter seem OK, but still cant get no reverse. Led goes green when FWD and turns RED when throttle goes to reverse and the Axial does not move.

I have a competition in two weeks and need a ESC to run....


HELP

can it be that the ESC has not been calibrated??? the calibration does not seem to end up


I have thought about the MOPED VR16R bravo as it is cheap and it seems to be simple to configurate OPPOSITE TO THE SIDEWINDER !!!.
Will it work with my Brushed lathe Integy 55T?
thanks
ed

Have you tried updating the firmware?

If I recall when going fwd the led should be solid green and when in reverse it should flash green (not solid red) Im pretty sure... So that tells me that you might have programmed it on brushed non-reversing, I assume you looked for that though... ??

Try to re-callibrate throttle end point again also...

How can I do that?
I have tried MANY times and after the first batch of beeps and lights on the full throttle FWD it goes mad and does not give me the supposed "four rings".
Im puzzled
Thanks

Do you have the latest castle software, and did you update the ESCs firmware?

Default I got it to work !!

I had to set it to Brushed with reverse lockout.
I still dont understand if when I release the "gas" it brakes or simple stops accelerating.
Then a second push forward and it will go reverse
Finally
Thanks to all

You want forward to brake to reverse, Lockout mode is double pump reverse.

make sure your not set to brushed high power also, you just want brushed. I think the high power mode is forward only.
