Welcome to RCM Dave! You won't have to flip the diffs with BL. A BL isn't like a brushed motor; they can spin either direction and it doesn't matter, simply reverse the direction of the motor via ESC (depending on which one) or by switching any two of the three wires. You probably won't have any problems with the input shaft, but if you do, I've heard of people using nails, drill bits, and even allen wrenches. Use your imagination basically...

It's not the same as the REVO tranny, but I broke a roll pin in my E-Maxx transmission. I cut a 1.5mm allen L wrench to fit through the hole and bent it a tad to make it stay in. Then just hammered it through, and it worked great until I had to get rid of my Maxx. I converted it to a single speed, but made another pin to include with the trans incase the next owner wanted th 2 speed back.

If you can't get the roll pin out, RC Car Action suggests heating the shaft/gear with the pin in your toaster (NOT microwave!!!) for a while, then pulling the pin out while it is hot. Use oven mitts!

Good luck,
Brijar!!!
