I say leave it, backwards looks different (assuming it works smoothly).

I think it looks pretty good backwards though it is very different. Is there any reason to do this though from a performanc point of view?

I dig How it looks! Kinda reminds me of a 4wd front end. Although I'm curious how you're going to mount the nose brace tubes?

I thought the backwards was unique. Actually I was trying to replicate a 91 worlds car style.... The front arms on this are andy's yokomo and the shock tower is a kyosho part. I don't plan on running the car ever, so I don't know if the suspension would benefit or not from setting it up like this (probably not), but it is smooth and except for a screw change needed (change to button head) in the front carriers for clearance, it works mint. The nose brace tubes will be installed like normal, I just need to clearance the front bulkhead a little where they attach.

they are andys yokomo yz-10 vintage. They happen to be almost the exact same length as world car arms, and require very minimal fitting for this application. AND THEY ARE WHITE!!!

COOL
