So its the A-main for 4wd mod buggy at the Canadian off road champs series and I've just finished changing the brushes on my Orion motor in preparation for the main. I walk over to pit lane lift up the body and flip the car on. I walk up the stairs onto the driver's stand and look down then pull the trigger and the car goes backwards!
The guy next to me looks at me and says, "uhhh, dude reverse is illegal". I just give him the shifty eyes and run off back down the stairs as quick as I can (only like 1 minute before the start of the race), grab the car and hide under the stairs while I frantically rip the body off and put the wires back in their proper place! (Orion OJ V2 motor, has 3.5mm banana plugs built into the end bell and when the motor is installed upside down + and - get reversed)
The worst thing is I've done this at other CORCS events in other classes at least twice with soldered on motor wires and a few times at club races as well, hahahaha.
