| switching the wires does nothing to hurt the motor. the motor's polarity just changes rotational direction. like welding with positive or negative current, the electricity just flows in a different direction.

There is very little either positive or negative effect at all as far as the actual running gear is concerned. Flipping them around slightly changes the pinion angles for the better, and very slightly shifts weight forward. But not enough to make any diffrence. The only reason I did it, and the main reason everyone else does it, is because it makes more room up front for your electronics. |

if your worried about the motor just flip the switch on the radio, this works ok if you are using the stock radio. If u have a radio that u us for multiple car them switch the wires. either way will work
