    no problem, i have a few DD's with maxon's and the builders said to run em counter clockwise, so i wood assume the maxon for the bishop wood be the same

    does not changing/switching the clippy connection change the spinning direction of the motor?
    Or is this not the case with Maxon motors?
    Winds of shit...

    I thought the bishop has a diode that lets the current only go in one direction?
