Default Tank recoil on Tam King Tiger

Hello
I noticed on my newly finished KT that when I fire the gun the tank moves slightly forward instead of backwards for the recoil effect on the hull. Any ideas on how to change this?
Thanks

Swap the motor wires (green & yellow) at each motor. DO NOT swap motor to motor. Then switch the servo reversing at the transmitter that you flipped before. Very common error...so do not feel bad.

i am having a similar issue right now with the KT where my tank jumps forward a bit when I fire the main gun, i was wondering before swapping the motor wires did your KT when pressing forward on the controller move backwards and pressing backwards it moves forward. I ended up flipping channel 2 to reverse and it runs as it’s supposed to?

Thank you
