Motor runs backwards??

[jimbobarooney]

Looking for some tech help today...

I'm installing electronics in my RC10 today. I"m using a Speedworks motor, Tekin 411 P2, Futaba 112 receiver and a Magnum Junior radio. I've installed everything and the motor runs backwards.

I tried using the servo reversing on the transmitter with no luck.

The ESC/receiver/radio combo I took from another car. It worked perfectly before I transferred it to this car.

I was wondering if somehow the stealth trans was put together incorrectly. But I've compared it to another car that is a known runner and it works properly.

I've double checked the polarity of the ESC to the battery, and ESC to the motor. Positive to positive, negative to negative. The only untested part of this setup is the motor. Before I installed it, I opened up the motor to clean it, everything looks good inside. Could it be a timing issue? I think that the timing can be adjusted. The plate that the endbell screws onto turns inside the motor can and I can rotate the endbell around. However there aren't any timing marks on the can to denote 0 degrees. Is it possible for the motor to run backwards if the timing isn't adjusted properly?

you might have flipped the endbell around 180 degrees when you put it back together.

Endbell is on backwards

IT'S ALIVE - and running the right direction!

Thanks!
