Gear rotation importance?

[Lucas]

Simple question, I see that no matter what orientation the gears are, the car will still move the correct way, not a big deal but what problem i noticed is with engines. Does it matter if 1 engine is rotating clockwise and another one counterclockwise? Can't seem to fix it even though i have reversed the controls of the engine, the axle has a "stuck" animation.

the engines can be in whatever direction.
If the gear/axle shows a jerking motion that normally means you have 2 different gear-ratios connected to an axel at the same time.

Thanks! A bit silly the gears orientation doesn't matter. But I guess it might be for the better to save up space. X)

When it comes to momentum the gear Rotation matters. If you have lots of masses all turning one way your wholle car flips sideways. For a vehicle you can find in my Workshop it shows that it flips left on gears 1-4 while it flips right for 5-10 if i remember correctly.

Nevertheless the motors have the same torque curve in both spinning directions and can switch turning directions instantly.
