Default Roto starter wrong direction?????help please

just bought some new parts and a roto starter from redcat with battery charger and backing plate....everything bolted up fine and seemed cool ,,but the roto starter spins the wrong way?!! the one way bearing is spining the way that is "free"....not the way that turns the motor over....pretty sure i put it all together right....is there a way to change the direction of the roto starter?....my piston goes up and down by turning clockwise...thats the right way ..right?

any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

ok all you have to do is to remove the electric start and remove the bearing and insert it the opposite way.
