Default motor runs faster backwards

Hi all,

I just bought an old HPI RS4 mini (not micro). It included a Nosram Tomahawk esc,and a Nosram brushed Super Stock motor. I know the electronics are old, but they still work. The question I had is why would the motor run faster backwards then frontwards. It's kind of frustrating, because I know the motor goes faster than it's running right now, because it's better backwards. I've run across this with another car I have, but never knew why. I guess I could switch motor leads, but I was wondering why this would happen. Anyone know? Thanks for your help.
