thanks:) yeah I figured I would try my question here since this forum seems to have a lot more folks that have done the revo conversions.

My problem with a y harness is that I'm using a hvmaxx 6.5 setup for it and there is no way to defeat the motor braking on the hvmaxx esc (that I can find anyway) so if I did the y harness it would apply the motor brake and the mechanical brakes at the same time.

Now that I think about it though, would that even be a problem?.....I read somewhere in here that the two speed in the revo tranny has a one way bearing so does that mean that even though the motor is braking it would only stop the rotor on the motor while the tranny would continue spinning freely allowing the mechanical brake to do all the work? Is that how it would work? if so is there any harm to the motor in doing it that way?
