Running a Motor Backwards

[peetbee]

Ok, the answer's probably no, but is there a way for me to change a setting on my Novak GTB to allow me to run the motor backwards?
Thanks

I thought someone told me you could reverse rotation on them, i cannot see that in the instructions though, maybe it's LRP's?

dont you just swap 2 of the power wires around to the motor?

Would think for an un-sensored motor, it's as simple as swaping any two of the main power wires, but for you with a sensored motor it's gotta be more indepth. I'd say you would need to ensure that the sensors are working in the correct rotational sequence. Also, probably some timing issues with either to ensure you maintain / achieve any sort of performance from the motor. I'd think you could sort it with a little more technical info on the sensor and timing side of the motor. But why?

In terms of why, please see the Atomic Carbon CR2 topic

I may have to contact Novak and see what they say, unless Super Dan knows!

In the initial set-up, dont you first input forward untill green light flashes, then reverse untill blinking green light flashes.

Think you just need to hold down the set button during turn-on and wait for red light to go solid. Then go through set-up as described above.

Think you may have to reverse throttle channel on your tx.

I understand the Novak Slyder which is based on the GTB has the option to reverse the rotor, but i not seen anything re the GTB, maybe a idea to bang a email to Novak ?.

[Cockerill]

As far as I know it's not possible with the GTB or LRP/Nosram.

It an be done using the Novak SLYDR Esc though, which is what me and Dan now use in both our cars.

Oh dear
Never mind I'll just have to stick with a modified gearbox!
