If you look in the manual it shows how to get it into crawler mode so you have instant reverse.

Mine did that. It was the ESC failing. Replaced it with a Hobby Wing 1080.

If it is brand new and you haven’t changed the driving mode i’d suggest you try what Jato said, it’s page 20. You’ll see crawler mode has instant reverse.

That aside, it is never a bad idea to upgrade from a XL5 to a HW1080.

I 've had zero issues with my defender except for steering servo, the bronco which is brand new,had a defective receiver that acted like what you describe, although on mine it is the receiver the problem, once the receiver recognizes the radio, i have no problem in forward but reverse i have to play around for it to work. The same radio on the defender works flawlessly.

I had the same problem with my trx4 not reversing all the time.
Mine was a problem with the trigger centering on the remote.
I adjusted the throttle sub trim in the traxxas app ~1 to the reverse and it fixed it.
