Can you turn the control lever on the handheld radio control box through 180 degrees?

Don't believe so... well, apart from using it upside down of course

How about reversing the connections on the controller on the inside of the box?

No, that's slotted on the unit, so the cabling can only fit one way.

Sorry I meant the connections on the joystick. Or turning the joystick through 180 degrees.

WTF I didn't think of using the word before is attributable to my stupidity

description says

• servo reverse for both channels (reversal of the running direction)

Which implies i can change direction for motor as well as steering servo.

That's a tad more complicated than the one I had.

Yeah, i'm pretty sure it's just a setting... but i have sod all idea which yet

It's laid up on bench anyhow awaiting decals.

SORTED !!

a) “REV” setting (reverse direction of servo rotation) Press the “CH” button and choose between ST, TH or 3C and 4C. Press +/- for normal or reverse.



So, using the CH button, the first click is for ST (steering), click it again and you get TH (throttle), then + to set to 'rev' for reverse throttle..... which is now forwards at full power. 

BOOM !!! it's a flier !!!!

Yay. Decals? Right.

LOL you've met me, i'm a ham fisted monkey.... that's the wifes job later.

You expect decals to stick once the shell is covered with dirt filled scratches?

1. It's not dirty.... IT's on the table.
2. You think my lad cares if there are decals on it ? LOL.

My longer term plan is to get a new body and paint it anyway

Cunning plans. Unsurprising cunning plans. Have you got orange paint?

My wallet needs a day or 3 off... It's had a tough few days with this and the MTB helmet...

Happily, my boy isn't aware of the upgrades, so we don't need to worry
