Used SB magnets...going backwards?
 
I took the magnets from a SpinBrush motor and put them into my spare stage 1 drift motor. To me, the power and speed is incredible (dont have enough room to get to speed normally), but there's one problem....When I pull the trigger on the controller It goes in reverse!!!

Did I put the magnets in backwards? Or do the different magnets reverse the polarity of the motor?

Should I try repositioning the magnets, or do i just need to swap the wires to the motor? If i need to rewire, can I just swap the pins in the connector, or will i need to move the capacitors/resistors/etc.?

Thanks for the help:D

You have to put the leads on the "wrong" way, because XMods run backward compared to most RCs.

Take your pick. Flip the magnets to the opposite sides of the motor, or else reverse the wires. Whichever is easier for you.
