Re: should FP gearboxes work in both forward and reverse?

If you want to isolate the problem as to programming or hardware, just reverse the motor wires where they connect to the speed controller. The motor will run backwards when commanded to run forwards.

DO NOT switch the power wires to the speed controller! only the motor wires
