Hey guy's I'm new to the rc boat world. I can't wait to get my Genesis in the water. It came in the mail today. I've seen in video that the original prop will not hold up. I ordered a 442 balanced and polished prop. My question is...The new prop looks to be the opposite of the original prop. Can the motor be wired to run opposite to be able to run the new prop?

Fastfish,
I don't think it was made cler enough.(in case you skim the text) The motor can be run either rotation by switching any two motor leads. BUT the flexshaft CANNOT be reversed. They are a wound coil. If you look at it, they are wound in one direction like rope. And if you reverse the rotation direction, it will unwind and expand inside the brass tubing and cause massive damage! It could lead to fried motor, esc and majot boat damage. So you need to either (1) get the correct rotation prop or (2) get the flexshaft that has the correct rotation to match the new prop.
And if you are thinking about it... Don't. Don't even try it.Comment

The good news is now you can start a "counter rotating twin cat" project.
