Im running this combo in my wraith. Its faster in reverse than forward. I have went into my MMP and reversed it but still faster in reverse. Any ideas? "thumbsup"
 
I believe you have to reverse the throttle channel on your radio then go into the mmp and set it up so the motor runs forward.
 
Does the ESC show a green light when going forward and red in reverse? That's how it is when the transmitter is set correctly.
 
Yes, its normal on the tx and lights up as it should as far as green being forward, red being reverse. Ive tried every way you could do it. Im thinking my be something with the Tekin motor.
 
Okay, new approach...
The speed difference, how much is it?
- Something you feel more than really measure?
- Substantial, like twice as fast in reverse?

My crawler feels faster in reverse even though it has 30 degrees timing at full speed forward and -15 or 0 degrees running in reverse.
I think it has to do with less drag in the wheels when running in reverse and the soft and heavy front tires are at the rear. Possibly also the difference in rotation speed between front and rear axle plays a role.
