Reverse servo polarity?

Someone in the TRX4 forum just flipped their arm 180* and added a single y harness.

If your reverser is shrink-wrapped you could carefully cut that off and add a short pigtail to the input side, parallel with the existing pigtail.

If you do that, you won't need the spaghetti mess of the Y harness.

- Plug the original connector of the reverser into your receiver.

- Plug one servo into the new pigtail you added to the input side of your reverser

- Plug the other servo into the output side of your reverser

Might all fit inside the box now.

Electrically it'll all be the same as using the Y connector, just a little tidier.

Interesting. I love tidy electronics messy wires are my pet peeve. You’re saying make the reverser one arm of the Y connector I think. I’m bad at picturing wiring diagrams in my head.

I got a 7px for Christmas so I’ll soon have each diff on its own channel

This is what I was thinking at first some way to simply switch the direction. I figured there way an easy mechanical solution. I’m just so afraid to mess with these tiny servos cause they have quite the reputation for being super fragile. I think if the endpoints are set, make sure they aren’t hung half engaged and don’t screw the horn without needle nose grip they should be fine

Sort of.

Take a 1" or so female end of a servo extension and solder it along side the input of the signal reverser.

Match the wire colors up, you'll end up with a "Y" built into the servo reverser.

Now you plug in the signal reverser input lead as normal.

The servo you don't want to reverse plugs into the new female servo extension you soldered onto the input side and finally, the servo you do want reversed plugs into the signal reverser output.
