I posted a video on another post debating mm3 vs mm4 but it didn't seem to catch on.
This is what I wrote if it can be of any interest to somebody here as it was done on my b5m:
"I'd say it's negligible.(about mm3 vs mm4)
Sorry I just did this video for your question. The quality is crap and it's loud (turn the volume down a bit for the squeal of the motor):

The car is on water not touching anything else. The test speaks for itself.
I tried several axis. I can feel resistance (very light) on the vertical axis with no rotation direction preference but pretty much none one the other two.
Certainly no movements on it's own. So changing direction shouldn't make any odds or to me at least it's negligible.
I'm open to any theory/counter theory as I once contemplated the idea too."

I think that was the point he was trying to make. If you remove the tires from the equation the rest of the rotation of the drive train makes next to no difference.

He was trying to say that 3 and 4 gear made little to no difference but then he tested it without one of the critical items of the equation. Making this experiment useless.
The tires go the same direction with a 3 gear as they do with 4 gear, but the debate is what effect motor rotation has on the cars attitude. It seems that you would need to have the tires off to test for those effects.
Would be simpler to do the same setup on a flat surface with the camera showing the shock action/chassis attitude change.

And it's not like anyone had to pay to watch his video. Cut the dude some slack...especially given that his test is basically valid for what he was testing for.

Or instead of debating the semantics of it, you try the only test that matters. Actually trying it on a racetrack.

The tires would only interfere with what the motor's direction effect does on the car. That's indeed why I took them off as they don't change direction.
I did try before to put the car in a way to show the action/shocks but nothing happens at all. The effect is too small to be perceived.

Pure epic. It's worth what we all paid, that's for sure.
Great idea, the execution, isn't scientific at all. I would recommend reading what the scientific method is, and learning more about it.
Then sit down and learn the equations of inertia and newton's law. Do the calculation based on weight and rpm of the motor and drivetrain, then balance those numbers against the same equation for the axles, wheels inserts and tires. Don't forget the different radius the items have, and also figure that in with specific weights.

It's not the tires spinning really.. its the torque of the motor going AGAINST the weight of the mass of the drivetrain that torques the car in the opposite direction.
lets move on to the B5m.

If you're running 4 gear and want to lift the nose you hit the throttle, right?
If you're running 3 gear and want to lift the nose you still hit the throttle, right?
That means the tires would have to be off to isolate any differences in movement of the chassis between the two transmission types.
