Default Rotated trannies???

Hi guys! I know that some guys have rotated thier trannies by 180degrees; I just dislike the angle that the driveshafts take when they are up high like that.
KonaJoe mentioned mounting the tranny rotated by 90degrees instead of 180. I liked that idea better, so I tried it. I like it!!! I'm running a single motor; it is down low, between the links. The driveshafts are roughly 25 degrees to the ground, so the universals are comfortable.
Great tip Kona, I'm glad that I tried it! Only took a few minutes, and I'm sure that your conversion will look much better than my hack-job!!! I'll try to get pics posted today. Vince

I like it, are you running another reduction, if so how does it go with driveshaft clearance? Can you fit a Std Battery pack in there?

Pics, Pics.
