Ya it does that is the whole reason they went to the 4 gear in the first place so that the motor rotation went the same way as the tires to generate more on power traction from the torque of the motor rotation. I do not mean the the car goes in reverse when you hit the throttle I mean the motor spins the opposite way as compared to the four gear.

I am sorry I don't quite understand what you are saying are you saying that the motor rotates the same as the wheels in the 3 gear? Because if so that is incorrect it does not rotate the same direction as the tires in the 3 gear. It does in the 4 gear which is the whole reason why they added another idler gear or the car would go in reverse when you hit the gas.

The durrango 3 gear mm is a different set up the motor spins the opposite direction of the wheels because it uses a 3 gear motorplate and gearbox.
AE has flipped the motorplate so it mounts on the other side of the gearbox so you dont need a extra idler gear and the motor spins the same direction as the wheels.
Look at pics of what side the motorplates are mounted on the b5m and b5m lite.

I understand how mm works its been around since the 80s. Yes i am saying the motor and wheels spin the same direction on the AE 3 gear mm.

haha, people just drive 
The 3 gear takes away rear bite on power. I like it in my B5M for high bite 17.5 racing. The ST has HUGE tires. I suspect the effect will be lessened in ST. In any case, 3 gear is something to try when you have rear grip to spare.

Motor and wheels spin in opposite directions on 3 gear RM & MM
Motor and wheels spin same direction on 4 gear MM
Is that better?

Lord forgive me for opening my mouth...
Here goes, with the three options that associated gives you, rear motor 3 gear, mid motor 4 gear, and mid motor 3 gear, the motor itself never reverses rotation. It always spins the same direction in regards to the shaft and the can.
Rear motor 3 gear, and mid motor 3 gear, both have the pinion and spur on the right hand side, with the pinion shaft rotating opposite direction of the tires.
Mid motor 4 gear, has the pinion and spur on the left hand side with the pinion shaft rotating in the same direction as the tires.
The shaft always spins the same direction inside the motor itself. I do not understand why this is so hard for everybody to follow along with it.

It's really not hard to follow along with. I understand that some people just really aren't very mechanically minded. But you would also thing that anyone racing R/C cars would have a little mechanical knowledge.
