I got a Nighthawk Pro 280 RTF and 

Out of the box with preloaded Baseflight settings, besides the initial recommendations, first flight was flawless and quite a rush compared to my X5C-1 and MJX X600.

Without tampering with any hardware what so ever my M2 motor (CCW) is now spinning CW. How can this happen? Is it a setting in baseflight that I'm missing? Currently grounded.

i believe with the ESC firmware that comes with it, you can change ESC settings with your stick, you probably did it accidentally? you might have to google for a bit on how to do that

Thank you! back to the manual, remember seeing changes can be made with combined gimbal positions.

my mate accidentally  change  his nighthawk280  motors to bidirectional  when trying to calibrate the esc,s  , i spent several hours  in cleanflight  trying to put them back to normal by using motor tab in cleanflight  one motor at a time  powering on at full throttle and sliding back down  till i found zero throttle   which was at about 3/4 on the slide bar  . i got it back to normal in the end but it was a nightmare . 
 Maybe you should just change two of your motor wires round, this will change the direction  , any two will do  just pull out the white wire motor clip   and swap the wires round , ease the little tabs and the wires should just come out . or cut the wires and resolder . good luck bud
