Default daft question i know

wasn't sure if this should be here or in newbie section.

i've got a gd 600 on the way. this will change the direction of the drive, yes?

whats the best way to deal with this?

just swap the motor wires over?

not really given it much thought but seem to remember there's something about running the titans in reverse??? (or 1 titan in my case)

Yes, it will make your rig run in reverse, you can just flip around the motor wires. I think Titan motors are timed, so you will lose some power when you run it backwards.

my motors already seem to have a little more kick in reverse. maybe this has something to do with it.

Don't have a GD600 but if it did reverse the drive, then you could put 0 deg motors in and reverse the polarity, run reverse direction motor aka MagMayhem/s or since its a maxx, swap the diff gears in the case and run standard rotation motor/s

Why not just flip the throttle switch to run in reverse that's all we do .
