What exactly is a reverse motor, and why would anyone want one?
Most RC vehicles use a forward rotation motor, but some special setups—like Clod Busters—need a reverse rotation motor to get the best performance and efficiency from their brushed motors.
The answer comes down to motor timing. A motor runs best when it's spinning in the direction its timing was designed for. That's why Holmes Hobbies offers both forward and reverse versions of the Retro Sport motor line.
