It would look like you would need to use the switch to reverse the polarity of the brushes in the two switch positions. A little surgery will be needed but it is doable. Timing may be an issue but you should only see reduced torque in the nonstock polarity.
Mark Miller ----- Original Message ---- From: Rick Bothell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: soaring@airage.com Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 6:51:59 PM Subject: [RCSE] (No subject header) Several years back I saw that someone knew how to reverse the direction of the Ford Long Shaft motor. I want to run one forward and reverse from two pushbutton switches. 1) How do I reverse it? 2) How do I wire it so I can go forward and reverse? In case you think reversing the polarity at the battery will reverse a FLS motor, it won't. It will blow the diode in the newer type solenoid though. Done that. Thanks for any info.
