About Brushless Motors...

I just bought a brushless motor for my Traxxas Slash, but it runs in reverse. How do I fix it? Can I reverse two of the cords?

Yeah, as long as it's not running a sensor wire.

Cool. I have a HW Quicrun. Which wires do I swap?

Any two of the motor wires.

Any two of the motor wires.

Will it effect anything?

It's all black wires. But I'll try.

Oh haha, just swap any two. It’s a 3phase motor, so the phases of a,b,or c can be swapped around. Black for black.

A sensor wire is the spare wire on some ESCs.

It works!

Thanks y'all!

You learn something new everyday

Just remember, do not do that if you're running a sensored setup. Bad things will happen

Kevin Talbot did that once... Ouch.
