Brushless motor help

[wizzykev]

What's the best way to reverse the rotation on a brushless motor?

Is it as simple as just swapping the A and C wires over?

Or could I spin the endbell through 180?

Cheers

Best way is to buy a Novak SLYDR which you can tell which way the motor spins clockwise or anti clockwise (normal)

I've no idea how to do it via the motor sorry

Can you not do that with the GTB that I already run?

Yep, it's that easy. Just swap any two wires to the motor, doesn't matter which ones.

Only for sensorless, I suspect bad things will happen if you do it on a sensored system. Maybe you can swap the phase sensors wires too.

It worked (and was suggested in the instructions) for my sensored ECSpeed ESC.

No, Colmo is right. To change the direction sensored, or sensorless just swap any two motor wires around. The sensor lead wires are nothing to do with the direction, when it comes down to it, they simply send pulses of electricity to the ESC when the rotor passes them.
