Beretta06 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I brought two rotaries from A 1 website - with my current battries ( all of them & I have lots!!!!) the damn things go backwards. It is extremely annoying :-( Any ideas on a simple fix?? Returning them will be an expensive process, so if there is a simple fix I would prefer that to posting the b#ggers back!!

berretta77 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Have you tried swapping the leads around on the battery, Not sure if that would work or not worth trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Sometimes you just have to LOL BTW don't change the polarity until you're past the speed controller or you might blow it, Just swap the two cables coming out of it Edited February 3, 2013 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAD1927 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Also check to see if the arms are upside down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta06 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 The arms are fine - I tried crossing the wires over (after the speed controller) and it blew the fuse. So, I will try changing them as they go into the controller, rather than after. Thanks for the advice. The pigeons looked very sill going backwards - like something from whacky races!!!!!!

Aaz Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't have one - yet, but cant you just turn the birds through 180deg so they face the other way :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta06 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Unfortunately no. The arms are angled which means putting them in a vice and realigning them. Not the end of the world, but shouldn't be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
