I cant get this sorted, just installed the SP LPF into the DEX410R and trying to set it up with the SR300 rx and DX2.0 tx.

But the motor spins in the wrong direction so the car is reversing when trying to go forward.

Ive tried resetting the ESC, i hold red button then turn on, press red button, hold full throttle and press red button then hold reverse and press red button.

Ive also tried putting the Throttle to Reverse mode on the DX2.0, although the car now goes in the correct direction, it has forward speed in reverse and slow speed in forward. Then if i re-calibrate i get the same thing as before...

What to do???

Sounds like you eiter have the diffs in the wrong way round or you mixed up the order of your motor wires when you soldered them up.

I dont know because i bought it 2nd hand! I dont have any oil either so i dont want to be opening the diffs up =(

I just tried changing the sensor cable, im using a SP V3 8.5t motor.

Still same thing. Motor connections are right A-A, B-B, C-C.

Could the previous owner of used the car with the diffs in the wrong way around???

You don't need to open the diffs. Download the manual and check which side the "bulge" of the diff cases is supposed to be on.

You don't know the guy who had it before you actaully ran it that way or just cobbled it together for the sale.

Yep you are right, the bulges are on the left, but should be on the right looking at the manual.

So how do i go about sorting this? Do i just swap rear and front diffs? Or flip the diffs?

Just flip each one over. The screw heads should be downwards when they're in the correct way around.

Take the diffs out and when replacing them just make sure the the hex head part of the screws are pointing down towards the chassis.
