I'm trying to research up on different dig units, as I'm getting ready to get one. It's will be going in my Axial scorpion. it's the stock chassis. My question is is there any out there that work with the motor facing forward. I have my motor on the drivers side facing forward and the trans on the pass side facing backwards. The only dig unit I've seen that will accommodate this is the CKRC FT dig. It seems like a nice unit but it seems to have gotten mixed reviews on here. Is there any others the will work with the motor trans setup like this or do I need to just bite the bullet and flip everything around and go with another company?

I did mirror a r2d. Ya just got to take it all apart and assemble it all backwards. Did have to drill and tap new dig mount holes. Really I don't think it makes much difference which way the motor is mounted but others swear by it.

having switched to a Stage3 dig unit after a year with my mirror and CKRC dig setup I can definately feel the difference. just took some driver changes to accomadate it.

You have to modify the mounting bracket on the CKRC one to use it on a mirror tranny.

that would be your best bet if you can get them seperately now, no modding needed just mirror the tranny and bolt one side on. Gonna need longer screws though.
