Default Reversing a servo thats y-harnnessed.

figured this has been done before, so how to keep the one servo the same direction, and reverse the other servo's direction. So he said that changing the wires around on how they plug into the reciver didn't work, will cracking open the servo and switching the motor leads work, or is there an easier way?

The easy way is to flip the servo arm over and run a goofy drag link. It's much less ghetto to run a servo reversing y-harness

It would be better still to run a radio that has mixing capability, such as a futaba 3PM, 3PK or 4PK. This would allow you to turn off the mixing should you desire to use only front steer or to crab walk which can be useful for crawling.

Flip the motor wires, and then flip the outer two leads on the feedback POT.
