Afternoon all, in this months Model Boat, Eris Kennedy converts a Revell kit to R/C using striped down servos for propulion. I have striped down a Hi tec hs-311 servo no problems, my question is I’m using a 2 chennel set , and want to use twin props. how do you reverse the direction of the servo, which wires should I swop over (black, red, yellow ) or isn’t this a good idea ?

Thanks in advance

Swap the two wires which go directly to the motor, leave the rest alone. That should reverse the motor.
