Let us know what happens when you mount standard hubs.
Is it 3-gear transmission you have in there and motor pointing to left? Quite unusual setup I think...?

i did it like this....i had a hpi bullet given to me, i parted it out, kept the electronics and used the motor mount...

the transmission is bolted to the plate like a traditional mount, with case screws and some spacers, the plate has three screws to the chassis (two lined up with existing holes), and i had to make a weird bracket to bolt it to the rest of the tub... its ugly and heavy but it took all the flex away, and i have good mesh down to a 19t pinion, no need for the nitro engine mounts

i was gonna run it yesterday, rain pretty much ruined that, but i did get to play r/c... made a battery tray for my converted e buggy.... out of another battery tray....ha!

It's 3-gear box then. Can top shaft be flipped around?

stock gt trans, i just drilled the case and shimmed the top shaft, minimal xacto work to make sure everything was free and smooth... kinda ironic that the mid motor craze is going this route... i just got sick of mangling my t2 motor plate and not being able to find durable rear arm mounts...

OK, I somehow thought it was Blitz transmission.
You turned gt top shaft around to be able to use your motor mount plate. Now I see it :)
