Mugen Pro Starter Box BII 1/8 Off Road Starter Box Assembly - 08-25-2007, 05:03 PM

I picked up one of these starter boxes for my 1/8 buggy as my old OFNA box was getting tired, and new batteries as well. Heard it was a good one. But now I am stuck.....[MUGB0230] Mugen Pro Starter Box BII 1/8 Off Road Starter Box (Gray)

The dual motors are mounted differently depending if the buggy motor is a "right-hand" motor or a "left-hand" motor. What do these terms mean?

I have already taken the starter-motors off their mount a couple of times to get the wires to route correctly. So I am taking a break 'til I can get this issue figured out.

So to all who have put this box together, which is it, RIGHT or LEFT??
Any other tips to putting this box together?? Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Meaning which side of the chassis it is on. You want it on the left side looking at the box from the rear if it's an 8th scale.

Thought about this some more......

Think this has to do with the direction the crankshaft rotates when the motor is running. If the started box wheels spins in the wrong direction, the motor will run backwards and so will the buggy. Coooooool!!!

I'll just have ta get out my old box and reverse engineer this thing....

MX_KEV---thanks for the offer, a pic would be awesome. Would save me some time and a few cans of diet Mt. Dew.

Just so I can get the orientation of the motor mount bracket correct.

Thanks for the help.
