    if its switched polarity then all you have to do it turn the motor 180 degrees and it'll go the other way.,

    Just a quick note - the G3 is a version 2 gearbox.

    When you say you swapped the wire over
    what wire are you refering to?

    There are two wires that link to the motor, one red, one black.

    You have linked these backwards to the motor, one of the terminals should be coloured red, attach the red wire to this and the black to the other.

    You only want to switch the wires on the motor.

    no i am talking about a bell g3 yes it has a red and black wire but the black goes from the front of the trigger for single shot to the back of the trigger for full auto then to the battery does not go to the motor at all.

    The motor wouldn't work if there were no wires to it, if as you say the polarity is reversed, switching the motor wires is the easiest fix.
