I am going to be installing a Stampede transmission into an MFM Chassis that is narrowed. I will be notching out the frame and mounting it with the motor at the back of the truck to get the driveshafts to be equal length. If i mount it this way will i have any issues with installing a motor and having the drivetrain spin the correct direction?

I am a total newb, i havent wired up an engine, ESC, etc. before. Couldnt i just wire the motor backwards to get it to spin the direction i want? Will this affect the motor? Thanks, i am hoping to get the chassis completed in the next few days so i can start to gain some ground on this project.

Yes you can wire the motor backwards, it will have NO affect expect make the motor run the other way.

Excellent. Thanks! I am no electronics expert, but i figured it wouldnt mess anything up. I figure its better to ask than to ruin something and end up being wrong.
