Default Motors for my Clod project

I have 2 Trinity Chameleon 2 motors that I'd like to run in my clod but the problem I have is that those motors have a fixed 24 degree timing. Does anyone know a trick for running a fixed advanced timing motor in the clod?

I've reversed the end bell but it still runs faster in reverse than forward. Is there a way to set the timing to zero on both motors? Or should I just scrap the idea of running the chameleons?

I'm new to clods so just trying to figure this one out.

One thing I've seen done in the past is the rear axle assembly is turned around. So both axles have the motor towards the rear. Just a thought.

Yeah, thought about doing that but I'd rather not do that. Worst case is I'll invest in a couple new motors and use the stock silver cans for now. But running those Chameleons, I know this truck would fly. Really want to make it happen LOL.

Scrap the cameleons and get something else for cheap, you'll never get the "right" timing if they're fixed.

That's what I was afraid of. Hoping there was someone out there with a trick. Oh well
