Is it ok to run a brushless combo in reverse?

[e32lover]

Hi,

I want to make the back of my truck the front, and the front the back, can i just reverse polarity on the motor connection to accomplish this? If not whats the best way to do it?

Its a hobbyking 3s brushless combo,

Cheers.

Sensored or sensorless?

i kno with the traxxas vxl and sidewinder3 they have a way of reversing them the vxl is reversed thru the remote control

The best way to do it is to program the ESC to run in reverse.
If (and only if) you're running sensorless the easiest way is to swap place with two motor cables.
The always wrong way of doing it is to reverse the transmitter. (The ESC has one definite reading of input signals as to what's "forward" and "reverse", so if you have the transmitter set to the opposite the truck will behave poorly while running forward.)

OK, it is an EZRUN hobbyking brushless combo, the blue 13.5turn one. Sensorless.

So there are 3 wires coming out of the motor, which ones should I reverse?

Thanks.

I don't think it matters, just switch any 2. I did the 2 outside wires on mine(the blue and red).
