Ok..Wired my Bullhead today.. Went Positive to Positive..Negative to Negative on the motors.. Then made a positive and negative connected to a Deans connector to connect to my ESC.(Wires from ESC to rear motor were too short) When I fire it up, the front wheels turn in the correct direction, but the rear wheels go backwards..Why is that? The ESC is a Super rooster, motors are Clodzilla power up motors, Futaba radio...Thanks for help in advance...Mike

on a Clod just always remember,
REverse = REar
So postive wire from ESC goes to positive tab on front motor, then goes to negative tab on rear motor.
That's because the rear axle on a Clod faces the opposite way as the front. So you'll need 0 degree timing motors to do the simple wiring above.

Just flip the wires on the rear motor. So if you trace the connections, one side is +ESC, +front motor, -rear motor. The other side is -ESC, -front motor, +rear motor.
A little trick to tell if they're wired right without running it is lift the front axle off the ground and roll the rear axle on the ground. If you roll it fast enough, which is very fast at all, the front wheels will magically* turn too. If they're in sync you have it wired right.
*it's not actually magic it's some kind of generator/alternator something or other I don't understand electricity LOL
