I find a backwards PWM to be hard to believe. Unless someone built either the end of the PWM or the socket for it without the tabs that usually prevent backwards PWMs, OR installed the end of the PWM backwards (which is highly possible if you're making your own cable).


The Jags are rather known for being easy to wire backwards, for a number of reasons (colored screws that can be easily swapped to denote which wire goes where, difficult markings to read, and there isn't anything really obvious if the screws are swapped around). I've seen someone wire power to both sides of one, and motors to both sides of another one--thankfully that was caught before power-on! I've yet to hear of anybody actually swapping a PWM around on one. Talons and Victors were harder to mistake the markings, but still could have their input/output swapped fairly easily.
