The gearbox hasn't been modified, just turned around.

I see what you mean chris, sorry my bad... So you CAN'T get the same effect as a 4 gear without one...

About running backwards sensored speedo:
If you exchange at the same time two powerwires and two sensor wires, would work OK?

I don't think so - you'll get probably quite high negative timing on motor no matter what you'll do.

I have just uploaded a new page on the website here with more info on the CR2 plus a base setup and a list of speedos which i understand are reverse rotor capable.

Hopefully over time more setups will be added

That's a really nice work Jonathan, as always I should say.

I wanted to add that every sensorless bruschless esc is also reverse rotating capable. (You just have to invert 2 motor wires) so you can add the Tekin R1, Mamba max and the others that I don't know.
