The principle is based on reversing the complete slipper sub-assembly without any change on the center drive shafts lenght. By doing this you must turn 180° the motor mount so that it is now on the rear of slipper. New countersink holes must be drilled on the chassis to fit slipper reversing and new locations of motor mount and center bulkhead.

I've cut 3 part in carbon fiber sheet:
- Lipo brace to maintain enougth clearance between center drive shaft pin and lipo hardcase
- Lipo holder
- Complete top deck

Main job is to plane most of the composite chassis frame and hollow out a new spur and new motor windows into it. Quite easy with Dremel.

Do not forget to reverse diff mounting into diff housing front and rear. Unfortunately spur of the front diff need the aluminium chassis to be hollowed out on right side same way it is already done on left side. It's more easy to cut the composite chassis frame extension to make clearance for the rear spur diff.
