Yep since the motor is flipped the polarity is reversed. Not a problem on a modified motor but a timed super stock type motor would be unhappy. Usually you flip the top shaft and cut the motor plate, if you can't flip polarity.

Very cool build. Years ago, I got lucky and scored a Lucas Agitator Pro-10 on eBay, it's a really cool chassis for sure.

One question about flipping the gearbox around to do a mid motor. Isn't a reverse rotator motor needed, or a 0 degree timing motor that can be run reverse polarity for driving forward? I've always flipped the top shaft direction when I do a mid motor to keep motor rotation in the normal direction.
I just click throttle reverse on my transmitters. If it’s brushless I just swap 2 of the 3 motor wires around.

Not all motors are happy to be run in the reverse direction for continuous operation.

Now that I think about my conversions they are all gas to electric so they were all mid motor to start with. So they are probably all running the correct direction anyways.

Got that problem fixed!

Cool!
There seems to be a chain drive theme....

Jeff, don't let the Chain Bros get ahold of your red Yoke.

Did you guys buy a Chain drive factory? Lot of Chain drive stuff coming out of your camp.
