If this is the stock Xl5 brushed esc then there is no way on how to switch the reverse in the esc. Traxxas made it hard to program the escs. Yes the esc could be bad. I would convert to a brushless system by getting a hobbywing max10 sct combo. Or a castle creations 1/10 combo. The traxxas VXL system is not reliable. Never had any problems with my hobbywing products. Brushless is more reliable and faster too. If you convert to brushless and a whole different combo and its still happening then i have no idea.
Or if it is already VXL brushless then I would switch over to a different brand anyways. Or you can try out that traxxas program where you send the esc back and they will send you a new one.
