why does my motor only go forward

I got my program card from Wheelspin Models.

The Quicrun and Seaking are my go to ESCs.

thanks Doug, managed to download the PDF and followed the somewhat overly complicated instructions to program the reverse all sorted now thanks again. where can I get the Quicrun program card from ?

Not sure why I asked that question because everything is on eBay or Amazon 🤣

I'll second the 16BL30, as it's a fine esc. You CAN program it without the program card using the set button, but that's almost as bad as the "happy transmitter dance" we were subjected to about 15 or so years ago.😮

Hi Herman.
I don't have the problem. Redpopman does.
I have already recommended that he buys the Quicrun Programming card (which I have), and which I assume is what you meant by 'Black box'.
Cheers, Doug😎

Do you have the black box that quicrun is selling? This is to me the key to your problem because with this boc you can arrange/ change all the parameters
I hope this explanation helps to solve your problem

Hi Red,
Attached 16BL30 manual -
See section 05 Programmable items.
Download to your device to read properly.

No Red you most definitely have not!
The 16BL30 is my 'stock' ESC for brushless and your set up is almost identical to mine in my Sea Scout, 16BL30 and a Propdrive 2830 1000kV motor.
2 possible solutions-
1) The ESC can be programmed for 3 modes, including forward only.
The other two are-
Forward- Brake- Reverse. Which is irritating to say the least😠
Forward-Reverse. Which is what you want for marine use. Option 3 in the programming.
Check your manual for programming. I thoroughly recommend that you buy the Quicrun programming card, much easier than counting the beeps🤔

2) If your TX is one of those designed for the 'Fly boys' it may start in Forward only mode, and during switch on you may have to pull the throttle stick full back to initiate reverse capability.
If you get stuck give me a YELL and I'll post the relevant manual section and how I set up my Sea Scout. I use it with a Turnigy cloned (Badge engineered in Germany🙄) i6 TX.
What are you using?
Bon chance mon ami🤞
Cheers, Doug😎
PS Swapping any two wires to the motor will only change the direction of rotation.
It has no bearing whatsoever on the ESC mode of operation.

I have a Hobbywing QUICRUN WP-16BL30 BL ESC and a brushless D2830-11 motor but it only goes forward - why can't I get it to reverse I've swapped the wire round in all combinations with no change. Have I bought a forward only ESC ?
