No reverse?

[E-Revonut]

As far as your reverse problem goes, it most likely is in the settings and the easiest way to fix that is to hok it up to a computer or the field programming card. You would also be able to adjust the brake strength. As for the case coming apart....How are you securing it to the chassis? Since it's a Summit I see no excuse for not spending the $3 and ordering the Traxxas hold down that will bolt it right in place of the stock esc.
