|  Tranny stock or Tranny Flipped?
Just wanting a head count of who runs the tranny flipped or stock. I ask because of the motor. A flipped tranny will eat up the stock motor because of the timing. I sell the TorqueMaster Mini with forward timing for a normal tranny, but if enough people run it flipped I will start sending them out with zero timing. |

Run mine flipped. Just how "bad" is it for your motor? I just switched the plugs on mine to reverse it.

It burns up the comm and brushes to run them with negative timing. Some motors may last a bit, some may destroy themselves in a matter of an hour.

I just put my TorqueMaster Mini in with the tranny flipped ..... So I guess I need to alter the timing before I run it. Which way do I need to rotate it again? |

Flipped is the way to go IMO. Can't get a battery on the front links otherwise.

Loosen the little endbell screws and line them up with the dents in the can. The endbell will rotate clockwise in relation to the can. | |

Mine is flipped, made room for the battery, and also seemed to help the torqe twist (could just be in my mind though)  |

Mine is flipped. Oddly enough my motorcycle motor (280 size) runs with the positive and negative leads connected properly. Perhaps some kind of reverse - wind thing because it's designed for RC bikes? (Yes, my throttle switch is forward on my radio.) |

I don't see any other advantages to the flip. I think the battery space alone is enough for me though.
