Alright, thanks for the clarification, that does make more sense but its nice to be validated.
Now I am not sure I have to run the motor backward, the engine spins counter clockwise, correct? (as if looking from the flywheel side/front side of the engine.) I am orienting the buggy so the back of it is at the front of the box.
I haven't started the engine yet, so I may be doing it in reverse. It will be obvious once I get the flywheel installed which way it should rotate..I thought I remember CCW from my Revo.
