Switching two of the motor leads is all that's needed for a direction change.

Only if running non-sensored motors.

Most sensored motor have some degree of timing built into them. Not wise to run them in "reverse."

Also, some esc's will not allow motor direction to be changed in the programming. This varies by brand.

Much of this is becoming an issue in 10th scale off road racing with 3/4 gear transmissions and mm/rm drive, as well as 4wd motor placement.

^^ I spoke too soon...never have ran a sensored motor!
