Default Traxxas Xl5 odd problem?

So i picked up a wraith that came with this esc..it powers on fine no problem like that...

But when i go full throttle forward it just does not have very much wheel speed...but hit it in reverse it and spins as fast as it should

anyone have any ideas?

Did you try to recalibrate the ESC to the radio?

What radio are you using?

Switch the motor leads..... If black is on black switch it to the other color and see if that helps.

The same problem happened to me, when powering on the esc I must have hit the button twice or something and it stoped working. I recalibrated it and found it was going faster in reverse, so I calibrated it again and that did the trick. Check and make sure your throttle adj. are set in the middle or slightly more, the axial tx isn't exactly a precision instrument.
