POS - Piece of $*^# (crap)
I shouldnt blame it on the opti drive. I was a nitro newbie, and couldnt get my motor tuned right before I got the forward only.

the entire tranny includes? the spur/slipper gear and the brakes?

In my case, yes.

the optidrive is the sensor in the tranny? or is it the special revo receiver? (or will it work with any regular receiver?)

The optidrive is a sensor that attaches to the tranny, and there is a module that is intrageted with the shift servo, and reciever.

the "forward only" is a hopup? is it made by traxxas too?

Yes - its a Traxxas sold product, it eliminates the reverse gears inside the transmission, reducing rotational mass, and with it, you could change the ratio in the tranny.
The tranny is an auto shifting two speed. I beleive you can run it without the optidrive system by locking the fwd/revse servo.
I prefer to have reverse also, since my driving skills arent as good as most.
