Default Brushed motor question

Ok so i started my scale build using LCC axles and now i have axial axles.After the new axles went in my throttle is backwards?guess the LCC axles spin backwards or something?I have flipped the servo reverse but now when i go forward my esc is in reverse?can i flip the motor wires with no isses?Oh its a integy 45 turn and a castle sidewinder esc and tq3 radio gear if that helps.Thanks

Using a Castle Link you can change the motor rotation in the ESC. Or you can flip the motor wires. Im not sure what the timing on your motor is set to. You may have to change the timing so the motor is not runnig retarded.

Got the motor set at normal timing so I should be good to just flip them with no probs. And this castle link about how much do they run as far as price goes?

A Castle Link runs 20-25. Normal motor timing is a little advanced, so running it in reverse will be runnig it retarded.
