Hello Everyone,
I recently bought the Spektrum Kit with the 4000Kv Motor & ESC combo for my 2WD Traxxas Slash. It was a very simple to setup, match the colors etc. Issue I am having is this: I took it for a spin after putting together and I noticed reverse was forward, and forward was reverse. So I followed the programming steps, (hold power+program bla bla) and went through the beeps. This fixed the issue, but then I realized that it was slow as hell, and after further inspection realized reverse was MUCH faster then forward. I tried to do the reset on my The TQ 2.4GHz radio to see if that helped and it did not. So after much research everything I read said "Just switch two of the 3 wires from the motor to the ESC". Well I tried that, and it did fix it. BUT I can't imagine there is not another fix? I can't imagine I would buy a kit that has the motor+ESC combined, wires color matched, and I have to change the wires for it to work correctly?
Any thoughts? Is switching the wires safe/void warranty etc.
