XRAY - Model racing cars

Hi Martin
Please, can you tell me how to change the rotation on the motor, orca rx3 5.5
The car xb4/15 running backwards!
Esc is vx3.
Hope you know the answer.

I am not sure you can make the motor run into the other direction.
Just swap your diffs around so the gear is on the other side.

I agree.

Please notice in the manual how the diff is mounted if you use shorty or saddlepacks.

Best regards
Michael

I will try to explain the issue better:
I have been driving the car with the Orca esc+motor during the hole winter and it has worked out really good.
Now I was trying to lower the car in the rear from 18 to 16 ridehight. I mounted a chassiplate(option 361262)
and when I should put the diff back in place I realize that I need to turn it 180 degree, if not it doesnt fit!
Then I must turn the frontdiff to of course.
Now the car was running backwards!
I have tried to swap the cabels A & B.
I have tried to change the settings in the esc.
Nothing of this works!
Has anybody some experience about this?
Looking forward to a solution.

I don't think it can run backwards as it is a sensored system. When you switch the motor cables you might damage the ESC.
It should fit even with that option part unless there was an older version with only a deepening on one side. If that's the case maybe you can modify the part to make clearance.

With sensored esc you cannot change the motor direction by swapping the phases because the esc expects to "see" the sensors in a specific sequence. The only way to change the direction is to do it in the esc. Unfortunately not all escs's have the option to run in reverse. If your esc doesn't support reverse, your only option is the make the diffs fit.

Something else to remember is that if you do end up running your motor in reverse, the motor timing needs to be adjusted in the negative (-) direction.

Hi,
Tanks for tips
Today, before practice I made a hole to the left in the plate with my Dremel.
Then I put the diffs back in the opposite way according to the manual!
Now everything function again, strange.
Training went good, third fastest laptime.
The only drivers that was faster were the Pålssons: Father Mikael, and the daughter Jessica!
