Once green should be ok for brushed.
Depending on the kind of car /gear box there sometimes isn't much of a brake effect.

Ok so a little bit progress since last on, i followed that video on the first page and looks like was in brushless mode! so thats now changed to brushed motor.
So now what happens is when i pull stick in what would be reverse it goes forward and when i push stick forward i have nothing, so forward/reverse is wrong way round and i only have one of those fictions? does sound like anyone know lol?

If you push stick forward second time does it react?
the ESC might be in forward only modus. There should be reverse signal switches on your TX so you can change the throttle setting.

ok so never tried that and yes, there is a small flick switch on the bottom of the controller on either side, so switched the lone located on the forward/reverse side
And now when i push forward it goes forward and pull reverse nothing, however when i try it a second time it now reverses, so i need to double use the stick to get the function, looks like i am getting closer but clearly not quite right yet lol

That sounds like the brake function
That's what mine his doing but not much brake effect

There you go that's your Tamiya ESC, fwd, brake and only then reverse.
