propeller spinning in reverse
I have a space scooter. I just finish setting it up and the propeller is spinning in reverse. I have a greatplanes electrify c-35 speed control. the blue wire from the speed control goes to the neg on the motor and the white goes to the postive of the motor. I install the three capacitor as stated. i try reversing throttle but that didn't work

S-diode is 'Schottky' diode (Walter Schottky, German physisist)
And never ever reverse the wires between battery and controller, your controller will not like it: ssssssssiiiizzzzzzle!

RE: propeller spinning in reverse
the gearbox made sense. I am new to electric and this is all new to me. I didn't notice anywhere where it say that the motor wire should be reverse, anyone would think that positive goes to positive on the motor. I also made the mistake of reversing the polarity of the battery. the motor didn't work at all, and the battery and the esc wire was getting very hot, thats when I realize that that wasn't the fix. I switch the wire back and every thing work like before (backwards). tomorrow I will reverse the motor wiring. I was worrying that the heat from the solder iron would damage the motor while soldering the capacitor to the housing I
