Titan 21T

I got a Titan 21T in a deal and it says its a 21T reverse rotation motor. Whats that mean?

Titan 21 is a internal fan cooled Traxxas motor from an e-maxx. I believe, reverse rotation is in reference to the direction that motor was used in the emaxx, spinning the opposite direction from any other brushed motor. I'd bet if you were to try to reverse the polarity it would get to hot as the internal fan run off the armature would not be expelling hot air. I'd throw it away.
 
Well look at it this way...yeah the fan will probably blow the other way, expelling the hot air, but it's still circulating air...where do you think it's pulling the air from when it pulls it out of the case, the vents. It may run as cool as it normally would, but I wouldn't worry about it too much on a crawler anyways.
