The one way bearing in the tranny is so that first gear can disengage when 2nd kicks in. The Traxxas SportMaxx was single speed and it did just fine as a basher, albeit with a 30mph top speed. I agree with Brian, no reason to do it with nitro, I was just noting that it can/has been done and works just fine, minus the drawbacks we already discussed.
