|  I'm going backwards...
I just got my XRC put together as a roller and it's running backwards. I'm running a Tekin Rebel2 w/ an Integy 55t and a Traxxas TQ3 radio. Forward/brake/reverse works as it should, just backwards from normal. Everything is hooked up correctly and the servo reversing switch on the radio effects the throttle range, just not the direction. Can I simply reverse my motor connections or are there other issues? |

there are no issues with reversing the motor wires on a lathe because its at zero timing  |

You can reverse the motor wires.......it's allot easier though to just flip the 2nd channel switch on the radio.  |

Like I mentioned in the original post, the servo reversing switch does not reverse the direction of the motor. I'm assuming because of the ESC. Either way, I've already flipped my motor connections and it's running great. Thanks for the help guys. |

I have a clod that I built. I had the same issue, the easiest is to just reverse the motors, every thing works just fine. quote=ComingApart;653122]I just got my XRC put together as a roller and it's running backwards.

Either way, like I said before, it's a dead issue now. Still kinda odd though... | |
