Rather than thinking of the rotation as upward or downward, think of it as forward or rearward. With that in mind, a 4 gear rear-motor configuration will spin rearward and will transfer more weight to the rear wheels. This had been my theory since it was announced that the car would offer this type of adjustment- now with TD's explanation on the site I am more convinced of this. Looking forward to trying it out on Cush's buggy.

I think a 4 gear rear motor setup will spin forward
That sounds like physics class, yep there is the head ache again I got when someone else talked like that.

On the four gear the motor would spin ccw looking from the endbell(leftside). When this occurs it causes an upward motion in tha rearend. With the three gear, the motor spins cw and forces the rear down on power. Of course the farther back the weight(motor) the more traction. Draw a picture to help yourself visualize. Just my .02

Somebody help me out here.. it was my understanding that 3gear/Rear motor makes the spin of the motor put energy downward, improving rear traction on throttle... so why does TD say that 4gear/Rear motor is for very low traction? wouldn't it reduce rear traction on throttle, or is something backwards in my understanding?

So after reading what I wrote: the four gear with the enbell on the right side of the car(looking from the back) spinning cw would produce the most traction.

How about we all just try it out and see what we like best/is fastest in our own envirement.

Are the darker circles on the front bulkhead metal for the front droop screws? seems plastic would get chewed up.

i think it's just from the mold.
the droop screws do have a head like the RC8 ones.
