Advance timing of DC motors, the Motor (Wrap 9 included) can be advanced timed, this affects the positioning of the brushes, the gain in performance is offset by only being able to run the motor in one direction. So you need to be connected to a transmission with a reverse gear and you need to be careful when ordering to ensure you have the correct rotation to match the transmission forward gears on your vehicle.

Not sure which way the transmission goes, so I will push the car (forward!) with the transmission in 1st and note the rotation on the transmission spline.

Motors are orientated as CWDE or CCWDE for Clock Wise at Drive End or Counter Clock Wise at Drive End respectively.

UPDATE: Quick check in garage the drive shaft needs to go CCWDE. Found out when the Motor arrived that you can easily adjust the advance timing so no worries here.
