![]() 2930 forum posts 1663 photos | Hi , I have a wasp 12a Esc which i can not find the instructions for and i am hoping someone has them and could give me some info . Is it possible to reverse the running of the motor on this Esc by programing , i known i can on some of the other Esc i have . The reason i ask is because on small motors i do not use connectors i solder them directly to the Esc which is fine so long as you dont take it out of a pusher model and put it into a tractor model as i am doing , i known i could unsolder two of the motor wires and reverse them but it would be nice just to program the Esc to run in the opposite direction . Cheers , hope someone can help ![]() |

NOTE: This ESC does not have a reverse function.
So looks like you need a 2 min job with the soldering iron

![]() 2930 forum posts 1663 photos | Hi Dusty , No its not a brc unless it`s a re-brand , i do know Wasp did a range of motors and Esc . Still would be nice if i can program it just in-case i may want to reverse it again . |

Have you a picture of the ESC? I might have a idea or a solution... |

615 forum posts 24 photos | What I do is to check direction of rotation using a connector block before I solder up (the kind here you push wires in from either side, with a screw to retain each wire).
Then mark the pairs when you have got the motor running the right way.
Then solder.
