motors turning wrong ways

Having trouble with Miss Fit my other ant. Bought these new botbitz 30:1 lp motors, when i have them all connected up one wheel to goes backwards when i flick forwards on transmitter, then the other wheel will go backwards when i flick backwards and then they both turn backwards when i flick to the left. They never go forwards. We have tried lots of combinations. The esc's (botbitz plush 6) get pretty hot as well. Whats a happening anyone got an idea?

I would say you need a mixer but the "both turn backwards when you flick to the left" has thrown me Confused

Try putting the left motor on the left stick and the right motor on the right stick and see if that works.

Using a HK6? Could have messed up mixing settings, I've done weird combinations like you're describing trying to set proper mixing before. Smile
