Hi all
Firstly I'd just like to say hello as this is my first post. Great site guys!! :noteworthy

I did a search on this but couldn't find any answers so I thought I ask. My question is can I switch the positive and negative leads to a Align 430L brushless motor without blowing it? The reason I'm asking is I bought a second hand Mini Titan and the motor is turning the wrong way to engage the rotor. I did find a pic saying that all I had to do was switch leads, but I thought I'd ask first just to be safe. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Welcome aboard The Freak!

Yep, just swap over any two of the three leads and it'll reverse the motor. :)

Swap the motor output leads not the input to the ESC!!!

Thanks all, I didn't swap the ESC leads around but I did think about it for a second. I just changed the motor leads over after I finished reading HFG's Brushless Motor and ESC 101. Very indepth explanation HFG, it cleared alot of things up for me. Again big thanks
