Default Mamba Max SCT issue

Hey all. I called castle on Friday and asked them if it was okay for me to go ahead and merge/solder my ESC and motor wires on the SCT mamba, and they told me that it was totally fine. I did it, and now when I turn my sc10 on and hit the throttle, it goes in reverse. What could the issue be?

Thanks, guys.

If you have a Futaba controller, throw the throttle REV switch in reverse, and then re-calibrate your esc.

The colors all match up, though. Still unsolder and reverse polarity?

It sounds like you just got two of the wires mixed and and soldered them backwards. it will still run just fine. you can program your esc to reverse the polarity also if you don't want to unsolder/resolder. it won't hurt anything to run it like this.
