Reverse rotation = high pinion. 73-79 F-150's had HP Dana 44's and the later F-3050's had HP Dana 60's.

In one word - no<br><br>The RC housings are designed differently, if you flipped a standard housing you would burn up the bearings as they would not be getting lubed - and I don't think the RC gears would fit in one either...

Actually, reverse rotation is a misnomer. I'ts really reverse cut, the teeth on the ring and pinion are cut in the reverse direction. It still rotates the same way. There are some good articles on this out there, but I can't remember where. They aren't that hard to find.<br><br>Brian
