drive motors on the LEO

Good morning, I have a problem with the drive motors on the LEO. One motor turns clockwise, the other counterclockwise. I want to reverse the direction of rotation of one motor, but without making any changes to the remote control.
Swapping the three cables between the motor and the speed controller didn't work.
Please help, but please keep it simple, I have no idea about electronics!!!!!


Guten Morgen, ich habe ein Problem mit den Fahrmotoren des LEO. Ein Motor dreht rechts herum, der Andere links herum. Ich möchte einen Motor in der Drehrichtung umdrehen, aber ohne in der Fernsteuerung Veränderungen vorzunehmen.
Das Tauschen der drei Kabel zwischen dem Motor und dem Fahrtenregler hat keinen Erfolg gebracht.
Erbitte Hilfe , aber bitte einfach, ich habe keine Ahnung von der Elektronik!!!!!

Rolf,

If you are running Brushless then you have no option apart from changing it on the transmitter or changing the programming on the brushless controller which I don't thing Armortek support.

You need to change this on your transmitter. It should be quite easy to do and there are probably YouTube videos to explain how to do this.

Do not change the BLUE, YELLOW, GREEN wires. This will cause problems with your motors.

Thanks for your help. It could be the mixer. Steering channel is the wrong way round. When steering, the motors run together in the same direction.

Hi Rolf,

I had the same issues ... what brand of RC equipment do you use? Maybe I can help with my settings.

Best regards, Andre

Problem solved! It was the mixer. With the help of a fellow hobbyist from Hamburg, the topic was closed.
I had decided to use a different remote control for the Leo. Instead of 12 channels, I have to make do with 8. I was able to transfer the finished programming to an SD card. Now I can put the lid on the tub.

I would like to thank the forum again for the help, it gave me the right ideas.
