They can be reversed with no issues. However brushless motors and speed controllers like to run full speed otherwise the controllers can sometimes overheat. For a tug, I would stick with a brushed motor.
Is that a fact?
That may explain why I am getting temperatures of 150 on my ESC using a 3s lipo when it can handle a 4s no problem. I was casually running it and it was running quite hot. The motor was around 90 and battery around 80. But for some reason, ESC was 150's.
