Default X6 Sq problem

I just bought an X6 sq from somenone who stopped the hobby. I switched my electronics from my b4 into the X6.
When I first tested it with my electronics the motor (Graupner Dr. Speed) was spinning but the diff outdrives weren't. I switched motor wires and only one combination makes everything sping correctly except in the wrong direction.
I put back the motor that came with the car (Losi 6.5T) and there was no problem (same speedo, same sensor cable, no changed settings).

Does anyone recognize this issue ?

I will check it for sure, but as I put in the Losi motor everthing was spinning correctly.

Except changing to my other motors (2 Graupners) I can only use one set of wire combinations to make everything spin (but opposite direction). All other combinations give a bad result.

Normaly switching any of the 3 motor wires helps to get the wheels spinning in the right direction.

The wheels should spin no matter which way the motor spins. There no one-way in there.

Check diff screw isnt loose and as Garry said "check gearbox gears"

BRONCO: Try this, remove pinion gear so transmission spins freely. Hold the rear wheels so they cannot turn. Try to turn the spur gear. If you can not turn the spur gear then there is nothing wrong with the car or gearbox. If you can turn the spur gear, then the problem is with the car.

Try this and report back to us

Ok, found the problem yesterday. Basically the diff-gear was placed incorrectly(were you thighten your diff). Now its on the right instead of the left (looking from the back of the car).

And I didn't connect my motor the wright way. The motor wires A B C were not in the correct sequence. Don't know how I missed that ...

Thanks for the suggestions.
