Also if you are able to, flipping the diffs in their respective diff cases may be able to get things going in the right direction.
Please don't use the radio reverse method to change the the motor rotation! Just one issue from this method is telling the esc to give the motor power whenever you hit the brakes. This can be extremely hard on all electronics involved.
You can reverse the rotation of the motor without the hotwire by selecting option 7 under MT (motor type) on the speed control's built in interface. However, you will be running in dual mode which might make the motor feel less powerful. The best option is to flip the diffs so the ring gears are on the opposite side that they currently are.
