Did the driveshafts lengths change at all?

And what did you have to change for motor to spin different direction?

I started with a wraith cage and skid plate and then put all SCX running gear for a 1.9 wraith, so mine is a little oddball. But I did have it put together with a stock cage first and did not have to change links or driveshafts to make this mod. Even pinion angle on the axle was a minimal change.

As far as flipping the motor, I reversed the direction on my controller. I don't right now remember if I had to change settings on the MMP esc. I usually program less power in reverse, but if you don't do that then I think reversing the direction on the controller only would be all that you have to do.

Pics bro. I moved my skid back 1 centimeter to accommodate the front drive shaft angle that has been talked about. I don't run a cover. I have a 3s under the hood.

I run PB original xor
So the tuck gave me so much more clearance. But was able to drop my CG.

Does anyone regret doing this mod? I'm currently building my1.9 wraith. I might run it a bit before doing the tummy tuck. That way I'll appreciate it more :-)

2 regrets on my 1.9 wraith..
I wish I did it sooner.
Also didn't like the size of the total skid plate now. It's a very large square when you're done.

I did this to my 1.9 because I was high centering before. I use 90mm shocks and 13" wb. I didn't want to raise the chassis for more clearance because I like a low cg. I love my set up now. It just works.

I waited also contemplating and read and read posts that did the mod. No regrets at all.
