The info on that other motor is in my initial thread with photos. You may be able to get the model # off there, etc. And like I said, the polarity (direction) was different from the Mabuchi ones.

In most cases, you'd have actual wires running, so if you wanted to change direction you could just swap the two wires to reverse voltage polarity. But in this case, the wires are embedded in the plastic, and the motors just plug in. Really slick. But makes it a whole lot more difficult if you wanted to change it.
