Default Castle sidewinder question

Ok so I am running a CC sidewinder on a wraith with the motor wired correctly ,however I have to run my radio in reverse? It's a flysky gt3b radio by the way,why is this? And is there anyway to reverse the motor polarity of the esc without a castle link?

just switch 2 of the 3 motor wires around. simple as that. might not look the neatest but with out a castle link next best fix.

get the castle link. I have a sidewinder and was messing around for 2 days trying to program manually. Get the link. upgrade firmware and more settings to mess with. graph out your throttle. set brake strength... just get it.

Trying not to spend money right now getting a lil close to Christmas time. And hooking the motor backwards just doesn't sit well with me for some reason lol.

All castle products require throttle channel to be reversed on the Flysky radios. It is totaly normal and does not effect anything. If it was me I would set the radio ch 2 to rev, calibrate the esc and then if it runs reverse swap the endbell 180 or swap the motor wires. The wraith in stock form requires a reverse rotation motor also
