Default How to flip transmision on MI4?
Hey just got my Schumacher MI4 today and was wondering if anyone has a guide to flipping the transmision for lipos ( spur gear on battery side enabling you to put electronics closer to centre of car ) Would be much appreciated

Well, at a guess, you would need to turn your layshaft round, and flip your rear diff halves over, but keep the diff screw on the same side as it is now, whether that is possible, I don't know.

I think you can just flip the diff over without changing the diff screw, as long as the grub screw is in and tight. Unless they've changed the design... That's all I did on my 3.5 and I never had any diff loosening issues.
