Default Revo: Backwheels run opposite to front wheels?!?

I am rebuilding my revo. Now hang with me here. I haven't built a revo before. I am so sick of the center diff I decided to lock it (not the 2 speed, just the balancing diff that is optional) I don't race so I didn't find any need to always be filling and fixing leaks. anyway I don't have the original drive shaft. But I dont know if it did it before but I have just noticed that when I turn the backwheels forwards the front ones will go backwards. Same with back wheels backwards then the front wheels go forwards. Does anyone know why this has happened? Couldn't have been the center drive shaft as it just balances the power instead of equally distributing? I am totally confused!
