ok i just installed UE 8 diffs and a new trans and when i pull the triger to go forward it's reverse and if i pull the trigger to go backwards it's forward......what do i have wrong?

All you've done is installed your diffs the wrong way round. You should be able to reprogram your controller to spin the motor the other way. If you've got a warrior, just plug your batts in and pull out the red programming jumper (on the controller), and when the motor beeps, put it back in. This will change the motor direction.

this really is new to me?

normally you need to change 2 of the 3 wires that go to the motor. (so says the user manual)

serum, if you have read the sticky on how to program the controllers, im pretty sure its in there.

Both methods (changing wires or red jumper) will work.

If you have program cable you can change it to. So there are three ways to do this. ;)

I have the HV......so how can i fix it with the Novak esc? If i can't all i gotta do is switch the diffs around?

im not sure if you have reverse the hv but you can always reverse the tranny.

If i switch the diffs around will i be ok?

I switced around the diffs and it was still backwards? So i fliped around the tranny and now forward is forward but can you run it like that? The guard that covers the spur gear will not go on. I never used it anyway.

come on guys what do i have wrong? with the trans backwards the center cvds hit the bottom on the chassis i also have the G1 trans installed.

squeeforever · 02.04.2006, 02:30 AM

yea, you can run it reversed. flipping the diffs would have corrected the problem. also, what chassis are you using? gorilla? if im not mistaken if you reverse the tranny your not gonna be able to put it in the rear. you would have to switch the cvds and then switch it to the front.

Flip the diffs - Thats probably the easiest way

Flip the diffs? I did the diff that was in the front is now and in the rear or do you mean somethingelse....and yes i still have the stock chassis.

I think the UE's are put togeather wrong. When compared to the stock diffs.... if i turn the stock diffs they both go in opositive directions when i turn the UE's they both go in the same direction.....is this whats wrong? That would explain why nothing changed when i switched fron and rear diffs around.

But if i turn around the tranny it runs right.
