Is flipping the tranny worth it?

| If you want to lower your cg, flip the tranny and get that battery on the front links. My opinion, YES, made a huge difference to get all the weight lower. Ditch the top tray, mount your shocks to the chassis, flip the tranny, add some weight to the wheels..differnt rig |
