Possible to Reverse a Brushless Motor?

[Webbage]

I've run into a big issue on my Wheely King build. With the chassis reversed and the battery up front I've been running brushed motors reverse polarity in order for them to run the right direction. Now I've moved over to bushless and I can't do that, as far as I can tell. Or can I?

Swap the wires around till it goes in the correct direction, it will not hurt anything.

I didn't think it was gonna be that easy!? Wow, thanks chipster

Yup, sure enough I just hooked the motor up A->C B->B and C->A and it runs the other way. Problem solved

not sure what esc / motor combo you have but I believe you can at least with some esc's reverse the motor direction in the esc set up....

You can't on a Sidewinder/Flux Motiv, evidently Swapping the wires solved it anyway.
