Default Programming ESC for Tamiya Hornet with Tower Hobbies Radio

Hi - having trouble getting my hornet to go reliably into reverse following the instructions which says to push the trigger forward against the reverse contact? I installed the ESC as is into the car since there were no programming instructions but maybe it needed to be programmed and thats why its not working well? i am pretty clueless so if you know how to fix this and if that is the issue (or i am just not very good at driving these things) please be specific on how to fix it. Its a tower hobbies 2 channel remote radio. pretty basic. Thanks in advance!

Does the ESC work at all, or just the reverse throttle is not working?
