If you want reverse and motor brake, you will have to do the single speed mod. If you don't do the single speed conversion, the one-way-bearing on first gear will prevent you from using the motor brake.

While you're in the tranny, you might want to decide if you want to gear down or up depending on the motor you use. If you use the HVMaxx, you might want to get the narrow-ratio gear set. If you use an XL motor, you can use the standard or wide ratio gear sets. Picking the right gear set will give you the most flexibility in choosing the spur/pinion tooth counts. BTW: In all three gear sets, second gear is the only one that changes. Check out the speed calculator link in my sig and you'll see what I mean.
