Re: The 'Holiest' of Holy Grails AGI Jammer Build
Yep since the motor is flipped the polarity is reversed. Not a problem on a modified motor but a timed super stock type motor would be unhappy. Usually you flip the top shaft and cut the motor plate, if you can't flip polarity.

Very cool build. Years ago, I got lucky and scored a Lucas Agitator Pro-10 on eBay, it's a really cool chassis for sure.

I just click throttle reverse on my transmitters. If it’s brushless I just swap 2 of the 3 motor wires around.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:07 am One question about flipping the gearbox around to do a mid motor. Isn't a reverse rotator motor needed, or a 0 degree timing motor that can be run reverse polarity for driving forward? I've always flipped the top shaft direction when I do a mid motor to keep motor rotation in the normal direction.

Not all motors are happy to be run in the reverse direction for continuous operation.mAdMan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 9:16 amI just click throttle reverse on my transmitters.

Re: The 'Holiest' of Holy Grails AGI Jammer Build
Now that I think about my conversions they are all gas to electric so they were all mid motor to start with. So they are probably all running the correct direction anyways.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 10:50 amNot all motors are happy to be run in the reverse direction for continuous operation.mAdMan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 9:16 amI just click throttle reverse on my transmitters.
