I have a Gecko-2 clod. I have integy 55 turn motors on it. I noticed one said reverse on it. Should the reverse rotation motor be in the rear or the front of the truck??

If you put a reverse rotation motor in the back, it means that you put the normal rotation motor in the front. The only thing that will happen is your truck will go backwards when you press forward and it will go forward when you back up. Provided that you wire the motors right. A front gearbox on a clod is exactly the same as the rear. Just turned backwards. Reversed. Which means you need a reversed rotation motor in the front.

Integy motors have zero timing so it doesn't matter which one goes in which axle. It surprises me that one is marked reverse. Anyway, they can be run either direction. Just run them in whichever axle you want just make sure they are not wire to turn the axles in opposite directions and you will be fine. |
