OK I got my wipers for the "SLUMLORD" and i've hit a snag.
The wipers that came with unit is mounted opposite of the trucks.
Now I think I can fix this.
Now the other snag is the motor is going to go opposite of what I need it to.
Can I reverse the motor wires without frying it?
Any input would be appreciated, and if more info is neede, just let me know.

Thanx, Big John

Most motors are reverseable, just use opposites for power and ground. Unless there is a controller that reverses the polarity. If the wipers are set up like a real life pair and the motion changes by linkages not the motor itself you should be fine.

Thank you Dan, I think there is a polarity reverse.
If that's the case, i'll have to use the wipers that came with the kit.
And since the instructions are in japanese, I can't read them.:confused:
What I don't like is the wipers won't lay flat...but I guess I could live with that.
Let's see what happens. I'll keep you up to date.
