changing prop spin

Either swap the complete drives or leave the uppers attached to the gimbles and just swap the lowers. You will have to drain the fluid from the drive before you "drop" the lowers and then refill. Watch the o-rings, if you choose to do this swap.
My recommendation is to swap the drives. The only "hard" part is getting the "donkey ****" to align into the transmission. Once you have done the swap several times, it's not that bad.
Let me know if I can be of any more help. I've got 2 sets of #3A's and one set of #5's. I've got spares.

definetely do not run the transmissions in reverse! Big NO NO! And what ever you do with the lowers, just make sure they stay in the rotation that they are set up for. Dont take the LH lower and spin it RH and vise versa. The spur gears on top of the lower are set up for what they are.
Bravos are a hole different animal. They are ampidextrious. SSM are not.

I just spoke with John (Pwrbt33) about his post. What he was refering to would be placing the drives behind a reverse rotation motor, so as to change the rotation of the uppers and the lowers. I've never run into a performance boat with a reverse rotation motor, so this swap (just the lowers) should not be a problem. Double check the rotation of your motors though.
