Flipping the skid plate around?

[TheBigRigger122]

I was winding if you could flip the skid plate around to essentially running the drivetrain on the other side?

not sure why for

but you should be able.

the Ft/Rr axles can be re-positioned
so the driveshaft(s) will align
with the t case's output shaft(s).

And the axle(s) drive direction can be altered
by flipping the axle(s) ring gear (locker housing) 180*

I know this because accidentally during assembly of mine
I installed one of the axle's ring gears backwards.

and then the front axle would pull forward...
but the rear axle was running in reverse.

oops... axle drive forward and axle drive rearward... is a problem !? Lol

I shaved down one of the top axle link mounts (unsure of the name, sorry) for better clearance for the pan hard bar. I want to go back to axle mounted servo but funds are low to buy a new part. Rear axle mount with tabs can now be in the front. "thumbs" Thanks for the tips on the lockers, i guess I've just been lucky every time putting them back together.

Depending on the front upper links your using, this won't work with stock or with the alloy type with fixed ends but would be OK with VP or any others using a revo style screw on end, instead of all that swapping around could you drill & countersink 2 extra holes through the servo plate so you can bolt your links to it instead.
You'll need to rotate that end of the link to horizontal rather than vertical hence the need for revo link ends.
You may need a washer or 2 between the link & the underside of the servo plate to keep the link end from binding on the plate.

Edit: actually I just I realised I'm thinking of the scx10 servo plate which is bigger, the Wraith plate will be to small I think, could always cut a new servo plate though
