Default Car going in reverse, grr help!

Ok, so I've put the electrics in my car but no matter what I do it only drives in reverse. It's a hobbywing v2.1 esc, futaba t3vcs tx, micro spectrum rx and a speed passion v3.

I have reversed the channel on the transmitter but that soaps the brake over so that when I push forward it applies the brake and push the stick back makes it go in reverse.

I've just taken all the gear out of another car and it was fine. I'm sure I've missed something really silly so please tell me what setting to change.

Obviously, you've tried re-calibrating the esc to the transmitter?

With the durango, mine went backwards at first - I'd put the diffs in upside down...

agree with Col you've got the front & rear diff fitted wrong way round.

Yes i recalibrated it and even did it back to front but it still goes in reverse. I think it could be that the diff is back to front. It's a lazer zx-5 gearbox

Reverse the motor direction? Change x2 of the cable pairings from the esc to motor, usually it would be A-A, B-B, C-C, (first letter esc, second motor) crossover A&B so it goes A-B, B-A, C-C and it will run the otherway. Apologies if im teacing my grandmother to suck eggs
