| reverse polarity?
So I picked up a mad torque MOA and decided to switch out the motors. I picked up 2 axial 55T. Hooked them up the same way the stocks came off. When I tested it, the tires on both axles were spinning in oposite directions. I just switched the wires to reverse the polarity and now it's fine but it's still bothering me as to why this happened. Any thoughts??? |

Uh, because one axle needs to spin in the opposite direction.

Wired correctly, the front wheels spin clockwise and the rears counter...

Then don't wire it "correctly". Not rocket science. I expect you to then mention one motor spins sooner and or faster than the other… |

I would say the stock motors were already set up for MOA and the replacements are not...like eeepee said..not rocket science..just switch the one set of wires...and go crawl |

Exactly what I did. Was just trying to find out WHY and if there was a risk of damaging other components by doing do but by the sounds of it I'm fine thanks.
