Re: counter rotation

The Velvetdrive can go either way.

Re: counter rotation

so is it actually the engine that turns the other way? or does the velvet drive make the unit as a whole CR?

Re: counter rotation

Depends on YOUR engine. Is it CR or not??? If it's standard rotation, then the transmission is setup for the CR of the prop. IF your engine is a CR engine, then the drive would be in the normal rotation.
You have to determine what you have.

Re: counter rotation

so you can use two standard rotatoion engines and make one CR by changing the tranny?
