Reverse Brushless Sensored Motor Direction [how to]

[@UnrivaledPiercer]

Did this to a Trinity X-Factor 13.5 motor, and it SEEMS to have worked. Original timing was set at 40 degrees, so if what you say in the video is accurate, I should be able to swing 20 degrees beyond the 60 mark and lock it in a the new "reverse" 40. I haven't had a chance to test it, but I spun it up on the bench and it seems to act fine with the sensor wire connected. I'll give it some testing and see if it works out. If it does, it will surprise me that this is seemingly the only video on KZbin that demonstrates such a thing. This is important RC knowledge if this actually works out in the long run.

RC drifting is still going through cavemen age. I come from the drone designing and building, where everything is bluetooth or USB connectable with your phone letting you do all sorts of things from there, having fully adjustable gyro’s built in the flight controllers (that cost less than a drift gyro lol) letting you set autopilot and GPS functions etc, also ESC’s are programmable via your phone, so reversing a single motor felt very natural to be easy but since technology is so ancient here, I thought I could figure out how to do this having no special degrees on the subject xD (I had it running like this for months of hard drifting and everything was okay, reversed it back and forth a couple of times and all worked fine, funny story is that even the manufacturer didn’t know or didn’t wanna tell me how to do this, maybe to get the higher end ESC? Who knows)

[@MsRomanFed]

amazing! I'm so tired of backwards driving! Finally I can drive forward!

[@MiniRacersRC]

Lol, that is great! 😅

[@CyberPilot360]

I dont even have a sensorless esc but still watched the whole thing ! Soothing!

[@MiniRacersRC]

Aah appreciate it senior , thank you🙏🙏🔥

[@PXCURSOS]

I did all the step by step instructions you taught. I inverted the blue cables with the orange and I reversed the sensor cable wires, but the car now only goes backwards, both when I accelerate or reverse it only goes backwards! When I removed the sensor cable it was normal again forward and reverse! Would the sensor be so missed in drifting?

[@MiniRacersRC]

Sorry for the late answer, from what you say here, you didn't reverse the motor timing which is really important too. You can drift without the sensor of course but depending on the surface you are drifting on, and how other people run, it is going to be harder to compete with them. At least on carpet, that was my experience...

[@PXCURSOS]

@@MiniRacersRC friend, I did it! I did the whole step by step! I reversed the Esc cables, reversed the sensor cables and adjusted the timing! But the engine is getting hotter, is this normal?

[@angesrc]

Thank you so much , you just saved me by not pulling my hair out , thinking I needed another ESC. 👍🏼🚗

[@MiniRacersRC]

Very glad the video helped you my friend... It's a shame such info isn't known to RC car people making them buy vintage tech for gold...

[@will450ktm]

Very well made and helpful video thanks

[@MiniRacersRC]

Thanks mate, very happy for this!!!

[@FZERO20]

This ain’t work the first time bc 8 didn’t follow the steps. But it definitely worked the next time on my brushless sensored setup I am so happy thank you!

[@MiniRacersRC]

Very happy I could help you on this :) Yes steps have to be followed precisely otherwise it won't work correctly!

[@markcole6475]

Worked great! Awesome to know this! Thank you!

[@MiniRacersRC]

Awesome Mark ⭐ Enjoy!

[@BeaversHobby]

Nice work! I didn't know it can do this. I'd normally change the direction via programming.

[@MiniRacersRC]

Thank you bro! Yeah that's what I tried to do first, even cheaper ESCs have the CC/CCW function and I was surprised to see that there wasn't such a setting for the Xerun 120A :/

[@stephenvoorhees7951]

Thank youuu!

[@MiniRacersRC]

@@stephenvoorhees7951 No problem mate, happy RC days..!

[@Nikitas-io]

I sure got a lot to learn, thanks

[@Inhinito]

Thanks for making it so easy! 💖

[@hendram3v428]

It works great, but i've some problem, when i go forwrd and play with throtle to get some boost n turbo,some times it goes rev, btw i use hw xr10pro (legacy i think)

[@MiniRacersRC]

Hm have no experience with that. But motors and ESCs are a very ancient tech and what I show in the video should work if applied correctly on a vintage ESC/motor like the one I have 😅

[@monsrc3122]

excellent video thank you!

[@scaledynasty]

That's very interesting! As someone with a Sprint 2 RWD chassis, I am curious to try this out!

[@MiniRacersRC]

Let's go Sprint 2 RWD team!!! Haha that's great man, I'd love to hear your thoughts after trying that! For me it made a big difference in the local carpet track...

[@scaledynasty]

@@MiniRacersRC I've never been on a carpet track, but the concrete at my workshop, I needed slower wheel speed to gain grip! #teamsprintrwd!!!

[@Sega-and-Mao]

Great job!!!!👌👌👌 You gave me a solution to my problem!! Thanks so much!!

[@MiniRacersRC]

Really happy I could help my friend 🔧😊

[@ChrisMuspaint]

Super video guys!! Thanks!!

[@brown55061]

I assume you have to go into your ESC or radio and switch the directions for your throttle correct? I tried this and it didn't work on one of my Tekin systems. It wouldn't even run because the ESC realized something was wrong with the polarity on the motor.

[@MiniRacersRC]

If your system is a sensor one, what I am showing in the video, should apply on yours. The direction on the controller must be set so forward and reverse work correctly. Normally we don't change the direction on the controller, but only on the esc...

[@That95accord]

I did this and it make’s everything super hot like it’s gonna kill my esc

[@MiniRacersRC]

Chances are you did not do the timing step..? Because if you do it right, the motor behaves exactly the same...Please make sure you followed all the steps correctly :)

[@DominatorIsrael]

PROBLEM IS, MY MOTOR IS FIXED TIMING. CAN I CHANGE IT ON ESC?

[@MiniRacersRC]

On some ESCs you can, on others you can't and this is why I made this video, but you have to be able to reverse the timing too...

[@lumen2161]

Hello,ive done this to my esc and motor from extreme racing. But the sensored wired when i switch it up and plug it in my motor jerk like crazy.but without the sensored wired my motor run in reverse ia good.i did try to reverse my motor with my radiolink.but the turbo mode seem to off also. How should i solve this.

[@MiniRacersRC]

Hello, first of all, did you follow ALL the steps as shown in the video? If you skip one, let's say you didn't change the motor timing like I show at 1:56, then the motor is going to jerk. As you mentioned, this CAN'T be done from the radio. It should be done from the ESC or the motor (as shown in the video) if the ESC doesn't have this option. And also correct, if you remove the sensor wire then the motor will function as a normal sensorless motor, but won't have all these program functions like turbo, boost etc.!

[@dimosdimitriadis9523]

Nice!!! 🏁🏁🏁

[@MiniRacersRC]

Thenkiou mi senor!❤️

[@SteynvanLent]

Thanks! I'll try that tonight with my nephew's car which is faster in reverse than fwd....

[@MiniRacersRC]

Hope it works well mate !

[@ja_co_bus650]

0° and 60° swap overs, 30° remains the same. For a 2pole motor anyway. 1. Main wire swap 2. Sensor wire swap 3. Sensor angle adjust

[@MiniRacersRC]

Your 1. 2. 3. Steps are correct. As for the "30° remain the same" AT LEAST on this particular combo, it doesn't apply. I haven't tested this on other motors so I can't say, though I imagine it would be the same as mine :-)

[@ronaldo_Mikage]

Lol ok

[@agiosdasaint5449]

Instructions not clear. I’ve got my neck cut with a turning spur gear 🤣

[@MiniRacersRC]

Use some tape to fix yourself and then we can fix your car bro...
