I didnt belive this till I did it myself, I had my storm on a picnic table last week, I had just put new brake pads on it, and was firing it up for the first time in a while. I was just giving it short throttle bursts and it died, fired it again , started giving it throttle and it flew of the table backwards. It hit the ground and died,hasnt done it since, Weird!
 
These engines can run backwards. It is a rare occurance and tends to be short lived. While it can do it, it is not designed to and typically stalls out pretty quick.
