Mirror Tranny

[Lemonlegs28]

Ok, I read about 3 threads on here, and 10 on other sites. I'm still confused 100%. Anyone want to help me out on how this is done?

Did you read my thread? Cause I did it first! Well, first one on purpose as far as I can gather from my thread.

When you are building the transmission, turn the top shaft around to face the other direction ... so it sticks out the other side of the case.

So Ax30197 (Or Ax30198 if you have a slipper) will just poke out the other side from the picture in your transmission.

Then the cap, spacers & collar all just switch sides.




EDIT:
He's too fast.
Just read EeePee's thread ...

Stupid question...is there an actual purpose to this?

Second sentence in the link. And we go on to discuss it a little more.

it biases the weight of the motor over onto the right hand side to help take out torque twist while on the throttle heavy or during careful steep climbs. my gears are still towards the back of the chassis but i've see it facing forwards on some setups, like my MRC. guess its personal preference ???....

/OK, that makes sense. Thanks EeePee and CGMJ

Im still not getting it lol. I'm confused on how you can make the whole thing backwards without cutting it up

[cmyers1]

I suggested doin this for a guy on a thread recently and I got slap burnt by people saying dont do it. But it really cant hurt to do it in my opinion!

[rod.d]

Here are some pics of it in my SCX10. Basically you flip the input shaft (the one with the slipper clutch) to the other side, turn the skid plate around, and mount it just like normal.

Yeah, totally. Just pop out the little round plastic cover on the one side and flip it all over to the other side. I didn't even have to swap the motor wires.
