Traxxas Link
Hey guys, I have an issue. I got my blitz today, and threw in a castle sidewinder esc/motor, and a traxxas link radio. Well, whenever I hit the gas, it goes backwards, and whenever I hit reverse it goes forwards. So I tried reversing the throttle, and when I do that, the esc turns on, but the motor will not work (servo will though). Flip the throttle back and it works, just backwards again. What is the problem, and how can I fix it??

I meant the motor direction setting in the software mate
The Castle SCT MMP 2400 system in my car requires it to be set as reverse if I hook the motor wires up as coloured
TX throttle direction - Normal
Motor / ESC wires as coloured Red, White, Green
Motor direction in ESC - Reverse
Unless its a Spektrum thing cant imagine why
Cheers

That's plain silly. I've had to swap two wires an just about every brushless install I've setup to get the right direction, mine have lasted years so far and are running strong. Swapping 2 wires is covered in the Castle Driver's Ed guide as the way to reverse motor direction. I think they know what they're talking about.
I think you're maybe getting confused about sensored motors, they have to be connected A-A, B-B, C-C or red-red, white-white, black-black.
