Don't pay any attention to the wire colors between the motor and ESC. The motor-ESC wires colors don't mean a thing with brushless motors. Just do as Mr Tee says!

Hi Playerpete,
In addition to Mr Tee and Jeffs fix, also some ESCs (castle creations for one ) have the option to reverse direction in the setup, real nice if you already did a nice neat solder job and it's all heat shrinked up
And of course never, ever even think about reversing the input polarity to the ESC[X(], unless you want to send smoke signals
Best of luck,
Pete
