A curious situation...

So we were testing our drive system last night and discovered a curious situation:

Of two motors in an AM SuperShifter, one is running opposite the other. Of course, this can often happen because one motor is wired backwards or its speed controller is receiving a reversed signal. In this situation, this is not the case.

The Jags that control both motors (tested individually) are both sending a positive voltage to the motors. The motors are wired identically. When each Jag is given the same control (via pwm), one drives the wheels forward and the other drives the wheels backwards.

We're at the point where we think that one of the motors is actually wired backwards internally.

Any ideas as to what's going on?
