car backwards(newbie)

[dj swells]

hello all,brought a tamia subarue(spelling)which was half built,from a
shop all the transmitter gear included,first run went great untill it
hit the fence,then all the motor would do was run without turning the
wheels..fixed this by finding that the cog wasnt secured to the
motor,when i went to do the second run everything worked except now
when i push forward the car goes backward and vise versa,anyone shed
any light on this please??

Does your transmitter (radio you hold), have tiny switches, two of them
together? If so, one would control the steering reversing, the other
would control the reversing of the direction of the car. Maybe you
switched the reversing switch somehow.
'
The switches are usually sunk into the handheld radio so you can't
accidentally move them.

switch the wire on the motor. if you have yellow-to-yellow and
green-to-green then reverse it to
yellow-to-green and go.....forward

The throttle channel is reversed, I'd say.
