Default Re: TXT Runs Significantly Faster in Reverse with new motor

So after all these years I mentioned this to the guy I bought the motors from and he told me that I should be getting those speeds in forward, as thats how they are made, and he is nice enough to help me fight with admiral even tho these are out of warranty.

will do. Admiral is insistent that I must have something wired wrong, but i have it all correct. Evidently they are not returning calls right now.

Flip the rear end 180º and swap brakes side to side.

are the rear gears helical cut? i imagine they are....will probably cause a reverse thrust load on the pinion but will probably work on a cart...

just peeked at mine and best guess is easy-EXCEPT it probably puts the motor in the bagwell some....

It seems to be all wired correctly.

I suspect you have a MOT-B1 rather than a MOT-B2. The B2 is a Sepex motor and you have a Series drive cart.

And swap sides with the brake assembles on the ends of the axle tubes, like Scotty said.

Yes! Meant to say B1.

The shitty part is admiral is insisting that I must have done something wrong or that my carts are wired wrong. (meanwhile I have 4 carts with these motors and they all have the same issue)
