Forward? Reverse? HELP!

I posted this in the mod bible as a reply, but perhaps it deserves its own thread.

One thing I noticed. When mirroring the tranny, you obviously have to reverse the throttle channel on your transmitter. Well, this is the wrong way to do it. I noticed that there's more throttle steps on one way than the other (ESC). So in order to get the same throttle resolution going forward, you have to invert (resolder) the motor wires.

Can anyone clarify if this is correct? In stock form, my mini rock crawler and my micro rock crawler go opposite directions (they are both bound to a Losi LSR-3000 that came with the MRC). If Marco is correct, one of them is limited in its potential right from the factory... The MRC came out first, so this would mean that the McRC is backwards when you buy it.

Am I looking at this wrong?

they should both be the same stock one would think

at least in my case, one would be wrong to think such things.

my McRC goes forward with the th switch to the right
my MRC has a flipped tranny, AND flipped motor wires (double negative means back to stock) and it goes forward with the th switch to the left

anyone else the same?

different?

My GF's mini and micro are backwards from each other. But if you switch the tranny around without rewiring the motor then it should be normal...

thanks, nice to see that i am not alone.

i did realise that flipping the tranny would reverse its direction of travel, that is why my MRC has flipped motor wires.

i dont agree with the word "normal" isnt normal the way it came from the factory? un-modded would be normal wouldnt it?

does anyone else have a count for how many steps there are in the throttle each direction? nobody has answered my question yet.

thanks, but my 2 trucks are backwards because that is how losi made them

is there a switch to reverse the servo or throttle ..mine does its easier than turning trannys or rewiring.?

Yes it is on the top of the remote by the antenna. I figured we all knew about that already. If you dont flip the tranny or motor wires then you will just have to flip the switch depending on what truck you are driving.

If you dont want to resoder the motor you can swap the pins on the plug.
just push the tabs in and pull out the wire.
