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

[jnev]

Oh I see. So part of the thread will be in the centrifugal clutch after sanding it down in the three spots?

I bought the screws today. So now I just need to wait for the wide ratio gear set to arrive before I can actually lock it into gear.

Yup, that's right. Once you have the gear and clutch in your hand, you'll see more easily. The holes in the gear are partially covered by the clutch, so filing half circles uncovers the holes and lets the screw thread in. Three seems to hold very well so far, but you could go crazy and use all of the holes.

Whatever you do, make sure the screws are equally spaced or you'll have balance issues.
