I know this is simple also but I made one of those same adjustments on both of my mm's... Was fighting traction and a horrible push no matter how i locked in my shorty pack. All i did was move my rear shock tower position to inner most hole and went to 3mm trailing on my front hubs and left my smc battery in the rear position and it gave me a very good blend... Car is really dialed now!! No more pushing and I almost have to much rear grip!!

I'm gonna give that a shot, I believe that is similar to one of Cavalieri's set ups on some indoor tracks.

They dropped a gear so it is a 3 gear AND MOVED THE MOTOR to face the other direction... Just like the standard Rear motor setup... If they kept the same motor placement/direction and dropped a gear you would be going backwards and in a hurry

Unless you reverse the rotation of the motor... which is why I asked if there are any modern ESC's that can't do this. With most of the current ESC's you can tell the motor to spin whichever way you want.

None of my comments have been directed at you, I was responding to the "take another look at the MIP setup and think it over then get back to me" from the other person... And you're right, if you could tell the motor to spin the other direction then it wouldn't matter and they could have kept the motor mount setup on the same side as 4 gear trans while only using 3gears, but with the way that MIP 3 Gear trans was designed there is no need for the ability to reverse the motor direction...

Sorry, I thought Skeeter's earlier post was yours and believed I was re-replying to the same statement/question

Ok making the switch to mid motor this month I've decided. The MIP trans looks interesting, I will have to keep my eye on it. We have a local MIP driver here that is really nice so I will have to try his and see how I like it. I can see pros and cons to it but so far MIP hasn't dissapointed with anything so I will give it the benefit of the doubt until we can see how it works. As far as the body goes that's a silly thing to worry about since it will be super easy to trim the other side out. The only bad thing there is you will need another body unless you want a gap on the other side, either way no big deal.

Except for the fact that motor rotation direction has a dramatic affect on how the car drives.
