| Need someone to explain the forward and reverse rotation motor deal.
Ok I have a ps wraith with the ring gear set like the manual says. I have a 21t traxxas motor and everything is wired and set to normal. If I'm reading the write ups correct wouldn't mine wraith go backwards when I throttle forward with the standard rotation motor. Like I said nothing on transmitter gears or motor are reversed and the motor is standard rotation

Depends on which way you have your lockers inside the differentials facing.

They are facing the way the manual says to face them, that's why I'm confused.

You can compensate for forward / reverse running motors pending which direction you install the lockers. If you followed the manual and installed them as directed it'll work fine with the factory motor. If you switch motors later on to one that runs reverse, simply remove the lockers from the differentials and flip them, then re-install. Then even tho the motor runs in reverse, the vehicle will still move forward.

Or instead of swapping all the gears, just switch the motor wires and go play. there is no need to over complicate things.

The only way to physically change the direction of the rig is to reverse the RX, flip the ring and pinion gears, or swap pos and neg wires at the motor connection. To take advantage of the std rotation motor I recommend you flip the gears and reverse your Rx. Flipping the gears swaps the rotation of the differential, making it run in reverse. Then you switch your Rx and it'll run forward again and you'll be able to take advantage of the advanced timing of the traxxas motor. I may have messed up on the explaination, but hopefully you get the idea. | |

On modified motors, simply rotate the endbell 180 to reverse rotation, on stock motors, flip the diff 180 or mirror the tranny. | |

I have the 21t Titan in standard rotation so I'm pretty sure with gears in stock location it was going in the wrong direction
