Esc reveresed?!

[DrakeButt]

I just put on an alum tranny went for a test run and everything was good only problem was if I had a hard hit or landing I have to wiggle the neg wire to the motor to keep goin. I tried to open the esc but failed I didn't want to break its case an mounting holes. I attached it back to the chassis and now when I pull the trigger to go forwards the truck goes backwards and vise versa. Anyone got any ideas what I did and how to fix it?! Thx

you must have switched the wires, reverse them to see if it works

[DrakeButt]

I never took any wires off. I didn't get the esc cover off. Wierd eh!?

Did you bump the switch on your radio? That will reverse it also.

if you did not disconnect the motor wires from the esc wires, then the servo reverse on the tx was switched.

[DrakeButt]

Why do you mean by the tx? Transmitter? I did use a sawzall blade to try and pry off the esc cover but stopped, I felt like it was Gunna break. How do I fix this reversed servo? It's so flipping awkward driving right now with the trigger doing the opposite I'm used to.

[rag6]

Switch the motor wires, or reverse channel 2 on the tx(transmitter=tx, receiver=rx. Just to save us all some typing lol!) to fix it. Are the motor wires matched red to red/ black to black? If not then that is the problem. If the motor and esc wires are connected together properly, then you will have to do the channel reverse on the tx. Which radio do you have?

[DrakeButt]

Man I feel stupid.... The motor wires were wrong I had red to black..... Thx for ur help bud. I owe ya one. If u have a question on carpentry I'm your man.

I may need you for some ramp advice in the future!
Glad you got it worked out!
