My BVM gear that uses a Xicoy controller and the gear did come with the red and orange wires reversed already (black orange red at the plug), but connecting them per the color codes on the Xicoy controller resulted in reversed operation. I could get the gear to go where I wanted with the transmitter switch the way I wanted, but no matter what I tried at the end of the setup when the gear were down the controller told me they were up and vice versa. And the result was the same issue as here, no steering when down, etc. Gaspar at Xicoy had me reverse the three wire plugs on the controller entirely, so I'm essentially connected black to red, orange to orange, and red to black. Weird, but it all works great now just like others have mentioned.
