Since this is for steering I'm assuming that you're wiring both servos to run in the one steering slot on the receiver. I'm assuming that because you're asking the question a direct red to red, black to black and yellow (signal) to yellow is not working? BTW, you can't just plug it in backwards, ignore that piece of advise. If mike understood the electornics he would not have suggested it. You also can't just reverse the servo on the radio as it would affect both servos...

There are 3 ways to fix your problem:
1. Buy a servo reverser, litle device that goes between the servo and the slot.
2. Rewire inside the servo in order to reverse it.
3. Use on Futaba and one Hitec servo (they turn in opposite directions).
