Unfortunately Ch3 on my TX doesn't have servo reverse.

Oh, and that battery is exactly the right type and size, but its the wrong one: mine had no heatshrink on it, but its still the same make, amp, etc :)

Dave you should be able to swap the wires on the motor as that would reverse it, however if you are using it for as a non modified servo you will have to swap the two side pins on the feedback pot as well, if you didn't change the pot it would have positive feedback turning the motor on and break the servo.

great see u guys there!

p.s jack ( team terror!) the new design for dead meat is a lot more box like than last time, it can run upside down, and has changed from cardboard to 1mm polycarb!

r.i.p has changed completely, cardboard is gone and 1mm titanium is now on, it is now a low wedge rather than the... odd shape it was at rrc, it is also invertible!

Valliant... same as ever!

DOOM! is... well you will have to see on the day but i can reveal that it will give shadow a run for its money ( very diotoir like!) the blade is working well... just trashed the old valliant armor (from aws 26) finishing off zeniths work!

oh and jack, hows the featherweight idea going, that r.x i sold you last time is on 40 meg so you will need 2 failsafe's for you drive (+ 1 for a weapon) i happen to have one from my heavyweight (we are on spectrum now so dont need them) yours if you want it!

Hi Jack :)
I've been thinking about the featherweight, but I don't understand the failsafes and speed controllers.
See you all at AWS 28
