The tranny is mounted that way because of the direction it rotates the gears- on the emaxx it faces to the rear because of how the diffs rotate; if you use the gorillamaxx motor mount the motor faces the other way, so you have to flip the diffs in order for the truck to go forwards, or if using a sensorless motor you can run it in reverse. The same thing happens in a revo ( the diffs are designed to rotate in a certain direction in relation to the engine), though here you just turn the tranny around- have a play and see what works best for you in terms of weight distribution (as mentioned above). I had to have my emaxx tranny facing 'the wrongway' when I had it in my TXT-1.
