Stephen Jones Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi , I have a wasp 12a Esc which i can not find the instructions for and i am hoping someone has them and could give me some info . Is it possible to reverse the running of the motor on this Esc by programing , i known i can on some of the other Esc i have . The reason i ask is because on small motors i do not use connectors i solder them directly to the Esc which is fine so long as you dont take it out of a pusher model and put it into a tractor model as i am doing , i known i could unsolder two of the motor wires and reverse them but it would be nice just to program the Esc to run in the opposite direction . Cheers ,hope someone can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If it is this speed controller or from here check out the bottom of the page: NOTE: This ESC does not have a reverse function. So looks like you need a 2 min job with the soldering iron In the time it takes to find the info on the web it is probably faster and easier to just swop a wire for all of a few minutes work/soldering.

Stephen Jones Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi Dusty , No its not a brc unless it`s a re-brand , i do know Wasp did a range of motors and Esc .Still would be nice if i can program it just in-case i may want to reverse it again .

Dusty Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I can only think of or relate "wasp" branded stuff to BRC... Just my 2 penny... Have you a picture of the ESC? I might have a idea or a solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cole Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 What I do is to check direction of rotation using a connector block before I solder up (the kind here you push wires in from either side, with a screw to retain each wire). Then mark the pairs when you have got the motor running the right way. Then solder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Use connectors & then swap any two motor/ESC wires to revers the motor....Simple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
