Default I have a idea. will it work?

My idea was to completly take the stock mounting plate out put a custom one in that would take the motor & transmisson and flip it a whole 90' putting the drive line completely center witch would lower or maybe stop the amount of torque twist .

Please forgive the shity design here im no pro. but u can get the idea..
it will be in a sort of a upside down "T" but a little offset to center it all up..

now in making this id prob go with steal plate to add weight to the rig as well im not sure..

But what do you suggest?
could this work?

Ideas are greatly appreciated

PS im a nub here so bare with me im trying all i can lol

the torque twist is not from the drive-line being off center so it wont help with that,also it looks like the mount will mount the trans with the motor facing towards the top of the rig instead of the side.
that will raise the center of gravity. which is a no no
that is how we mounted a trans back when crawling was first getting on its feet . its how i had my pede trans mounted in my first crawler in 04

If it is a sportsman rig just mirror the trans. If it is not then 4link and play with the shocks. You'll get it fixed.

The bracket will work and does take away some torque twist, I have one laying around from my first axial rig... If your looking for up grades I would suggest the Gatekeeper GC-3A, it would nearly eliminate the torque twist and make your ax perform ALOT better
