I am wondering, when the motor brakes or coasts, does it act as a generator and put electricity back into the batteries? That may be a good reason to lock the tranny. I still have mechanical brakes, so this would be another reason to lock the tranny. Would it be too difficult to make your own tranny?
Well i am not sure if it puts energy back in the batteries or not. But the one less servo will save power and weight. Also the motor brakes are amazing. You could seriously get going good and slam the brakes and make it do a forward flip. Not recommending it but you could. So far i like the locking option better.
