Default Stock esc problem

Everytime i pull the trigger the light turns Red, meaning reverse, but it still goes forward, & when i push the trigger for reverse, the light turns green, but it still goes in reverse, just the esc has it swapped up, so my reverse is faster than my forward but everthing on the radio is like it should be, i pull it goes forward i push it goes backwards its just the esc, & it didnt have a problem with another esc it was fine.. anyone have any ideas? i saw the threads about the diffs being swapped from the factory is this that? i bought this wraith used so i would have thought the other guys would have noticed it.. Thanks in advance for any help

You need to flip the axle diffs, common on the RTR's

Isn't the stock motor timed or is it 0° ?

The RTR's are known for the diffs being installed backwards, flipping the motor wires will just delay the inevitable.

15. Apply throttle to make sure motor turns in the proper direction. To reverse the direction of the motor, switch the wires going to the motor.

If you fry the stock 20T motor, they are dirt cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AXIAL-20T-54...item53ecd82242

I was just trying to help the guy assemble his rig properly,I never said you could not switch the wires.


Didn't mean to start a debate.




Good luck with your issue Dtempleton!




Ron out!

if you do go the way of switching the wires you may need to reverse the channel on your control to keep it going the right way
