More information would help...

What ESC/motor are you running?

Have you tried swapping channel 1 and channel 2 at the RX and seeing if its your ESC that is causing the fault?

Are you in a "race mode", where reverse is locked out?

Do you have brakes?

I’m assuming you calibrated the RX and TX for the esc?

ATL/brake endpoint turned all the way down.

One of the toggles/dials on the grip/around the wheel control it.

Figured it out. The trigger assembly was absolutely disgustingly dirty. Pulled the radio apart and cleaned it. Works great now
