Locking the revo in 2nd gear to use motor braking/reverse

Is there another (less destructive) alternative than option 4?

Thanks

Option 4 is the only way I know to lock into second. Using the FOC and locked in 2nd, I don't see any good way to use motor reverse, and mechanical brake. I suppose you'd need to use a 3rd channel on the TX for brake. Might be a bit cumbersome.
