Yes, I know about the fact that BL´s don´t care in which way they are spun. And it´s great that you can change the direction on the Warriors so easily.

As you might know, the revo diffs are the other way around as on the maxx. (they are flip-able, too) But as I first assembled mine, I went by the exploded view. So I hooked the motor up as usual, and the truck ran the other way. No problem, just switch direction. But then my motor died, and I threw on an EVX/Titan combo, without thinking of the different direction.
Well, I wanted to run it a few laps anyway, so I just reversed polarity on the spot, easiest fix in a rush. (I know brushed motors have a prefered turning direction, but I wanted to drive the truck really bad, was only for one set of packs)

If you would have said the tranny has a prefered direction, I would have flipped the diffs on the new BL, but I´ll leave it as they are, then. I won´t drive it again, until I get the new BL.

These HPI pins, could you get me some, Mike?
