Default Electronics help

After searching and ending up empty handed, I need some help. I reversed the motor and tranny on my Losi MRC to open some space up front. Now my throttle control on my pistol are reversed, push forward for forward etc. Will reversing the wires on the poles of the motor remedy this, or will I have to rewire through the esc, or am I up the creek?

I dont know which Tx you are using but there should be a throttle reverse switch or option on it. Yes, you can switch the motor wires. Some motors actually run faster in the opposite direction.

ESCs aren't really all that hard, especially the RTRs. You should recalibrate your ESC with your transmitter, just follow the instructions.

Thanks. I didn't even need to mess with it. I called a buddy, and member of this site, and he just had me switch the polarity.
