yes i have tried the motor in reverse and at full throttle it was not near the power.
so to get the most power out of this GWS400 should i look at getting 11.1V battery and keep the esc or upgrade, i misplaced the paperwork with it i think its 25amps.
here is what its was on to give a general idea.
Note where there a battery on the rear motor mount (that was just there while i was finding the CG) pic are before i cut the nose down . i placed the motor on the front just to see how it looked.
