So what I'm talking about is having the motor facing the other direction then shortening the propshaft so it barely exists any more.... This puts the motor right at the back..... Now here's where it gets really crazy because I then want to mount a super short shorty battery across the way under the propshaft and butted up against the motor... Why? Would give a maybe 65/35 distribution with no 3 gear or 4 gear inertia effect....which I'm becoming convinced is undesirable... There would be another layout for high grip, still involving a super shorty.... So, Fred?!
