Imho that doesn't change anything. The rotor oft the motor still spins in the same direction as before, in relation to the tires. No matter how you turn the motor, it always spins in the opposite direction of the tires. That creates a moment of force on the chassis which puts more weight to the front.

To bring more weight on the rear tires, if sitting in the mid motor configuration, it needs to spin in the same direction as the tires. Only possible with 2 or 4 gear boxes.

For all you anti-over-thinkers, Andreas is absolutley right! drilling your case and swapping sides does NOTHING. The armature still has to spin opposite the wheels. The only way for the armature to spin the same direction as the wheels is, you guessed it, A FOURTH GEAR
