thanks for the reply bob. yeah, just a bit frustrating. so you are saying that i need to switch the A and C wires even though that's the way they are labeled; there is no other way around this?

Welcome to the forum and the firestorm. Your truck is fine, nothing to get upset about. The two wires needed to be reversed. The reverse mode has a fraction of the power of forward mode. With sensorless motors the three stages are arbitrarily set up in the ESC and hence sometimes wiring needing to be switched. I have two castle ESCs that are that way and the rest are not.
Merry days to all in the forum. I've got a durango DEST 210 now as a track truck and the storm stays a street vehicle. The durangos are nice and worth checking out.
Yeah you'll have to it's really no big deal... you could try going through the manual, and seeing about reversing it in the ESC... but i'd just switch the wires and re program. You may also be able to flip the reversing switch on your TX...
