In school I am using a venom 6 cell and an old traxxas stinger motor to power a wooden car. I put everything together and thanks to my stupidity I Pit the motor on. The wrong side of the car sO it goes in reverse lol. If I connect the positive wire to the negative this should reverse the motor right? Keep in mind there is no speed control. Just a battery and motor.

Thanks!

Yes. Electric motors really don't care which way the power comes in unless the brushes are really messed up. Just about every simple electric device like motors and light bulbs can handle the power flowing from either side.

I dont think its worth video taping lol... But it will be pretty cool. Everybody was crowding around the hallway watching me and my buddy trying to test it for the first time. They all had tiny little motors with 9v batteries and then I come in with a 540 stinger and 6 cell battery and they get google eyes. The first time we made the wheels spin it just did a giant burnout because the wheels are plastic and have like 0 traction with the motor we're using.
