The one problem with the way you reversed the pod is the bushings. If you look on the diff side, while the inner diff hub (?) is slightly dished, it will still rub against the plastic of the motor mount. I reamed the holes, and used flanged bearings on the outside of the mounts, like the original bearings/bushings would be. An alternate idea might be to cut an additional small piece of aluminum for the outside of the mount. Or maybe you're lucky and it doesn't rub.
The wheelbase with the pod reversed like that is about 4.75". You *can* get 1/24 slotcar bodies in a 4.5" wheelbase. If you drill new holes in the tbar, you can shift the mounts up about a 1/4". Just enough to get a slotcar body on. If you have 1/32" fiberglass lying around, you can just make a new t-bar, which is probably the best thing to do.
