Motor reversing

[Salmonslaya]

I have a RS2205 motor, can I reverse this to run clockwise and not do any damage or is it counter clockwise only?

A brush less motor doesn't have a preferred direction of rotation. The only thing is that the thread on the shaft (if it has one) will be cut for clockwise or anticlockwise direction in order that the prop nut doesn't unscrew itself in flight. If you use a nylock prop nut and snug them down that should not be an issue.

If you do put it clockwise, remember that your prop is now backwards, creating backwards thrust.
