Default Micro T mid mounted motor

Someone mentioned to me that a mid mounted motor would be cool, so i went with it. I had to reverse the polarity to the motor so it would run the rite way but other than that it was simply using my lexan scissors and a screw driver. It ended up being about 3/4in longer than stock. Which is terrible for the stock body but with the baja body on the i think it kinda looks ok, i mean besides the wheel wheels not lineing up. I may go purchase a new baja body tomorow and just cut the correctly located wheel wells for the rear since th ebaja body havs the right proportions for this longer Micro T. Lemme know what you guys think, or if you have any ideas.

instead of switching the polarity you could have flipped the throttle switch on top of the controller but oooh well
