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

So looks like you need a 2 min job with the soldering iron In the time it takes to find the info on the web it is probably faster and easier to just swop a wire for all of a few minutes work/soldering.
