    The Castle Creations Sidewinder SCT has reverse. You may have it in reverse lockout mode which is intended for racing. Here is a link to the manual:

    The Castle Link is the best way to program Castle Creations ESCs but you need a computer and a USB cable. The software is a free download.

    You can program your ESC without a computer also:

    I got my Castle Link free with the coupon that was inside the box of my ESC. What is cool about the Castle Link is that there are sometimes settings that are not available via the manual programming method. Plus the Castle Link works with all Castle Creations ESCs like their airplane, helicopter and car/trucks products.

    I bet your local hobby shop guys have a Castle Link USB adapter and will help set your reverse for you.
