Re: Backwards Mounted Motors
Mike,

The CIM motors are the same in forward and reverse. Our transmission arrangement had one tranny mounted "backwards" and we drove perfectly straight without code adjustments to motor speed. Something else is going on in the drive. First check for any bind in the transmissions, especially chain. Next, check to see if the motors are O.K. Use code as a last resort.
