Most speedos have a 1-2sec delay when switching between forwards and reverse. I believe this is to prevent current overloading if you accidently go past the max braking point and straight into reverse with your handset sticks if you are using a more powerful motor.
Saying that though, I also think there might be some out there that do offer instant reverse? Certainly any designed for oval racing seem to favour that way of working. Off the top of my head I seem to remember that the Octanne can be set to oval racing profile on ordering? Perhaps this means the instant reverse? Give them a call and ask them.
Generally speaking, many clubs discourage the use of reverse in races
