I had the same experience with my LRP.

Mamba Max - sooooo much better and reverse and forward are the same now, plus instant reverse.

Sounds like it's advanced or retarded - crawler motors sohuld be timed at 0 degrees for equal performance in forward or reverse.

This is most likely the issue. Does your ESC have a programming button?
