However the atomic carbon conversions all have the motor rotate in the same direction as the wheels. With the motor infront of the rear wheels this will help to push the rear down, as well as lifting the front.
This might also help control the car in the air.
What do you guys think?

I ran my Atomic CR2 exactly like this and I think that it's much smoother under acceleration and better in the air than having the idler gear mod. I ran the car both ways and went back to the way you are running yours
