Help, rotor runs backwards
 
I just finished putting my Corona together and went to test the motor. I noticed the head runs clockwise. This seems opposite of the way the blades are set. I checked the wiring and it all looks OK. The battery !QUOT!red!QUOT! is connected to the !QUOT!red !QUOT! speed controller. The speed controller red wire is connected to the + motor. I'm using the Pegasus 35 controller and the Atomic Force motor. The white band on the diode is connected to the red wire.

Will it hurt to just switch the motor connections? What else could be wrong?

Switching the wires from ESC to motor over IS the standard way of reversing a motor. (On a brushless motor/ESC you just switch any two of the three - but that's another story!)
