motors wired in reverse some one plz look

hey guys.... one thing ive noticed with these cars are that the motors are wired in backwards....so if you buy an after market motor such as the hpi micro motor you would have to put the positive led to the negative on the motor...no running the motor in reverse is actually slower than if you wired the motor in positive to positive, get my drift? but if you would do that the xmod will run in reverse instead of going foward >.< it sucks cause i have a plasma dash motor and having it wired in backwards is slower than when i wire it correctly...positive to positive.... ok the point is...do you think wiring the motor clock-wise would fix the problem? plz help

okay, first of all...switching wires isnt the same as if you wired positive to negative cause the motor runs slower in reverse...so you posting swith the wires is a waiste of my time...did you read the first post i did up at the top?
