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

[Finnster]

If you don't mind I'll add a couple pics of the clutch for clarity:
[see OP]
The filed holes should line up to to the holes in the 2nd gear. If you have a 4mm tap, its a nice idea to run it thru the plastic gear for a bit more strength and durability. The holes should be in the same place for all the gear sets. As pictured, try to line up the clutch arm right to the drive pin of the 2nd gear so the drive pin is taking most of the force of the acceleration (as its designed to.)

Lastly, don't use longer than 10mm screws or it will stick out the back end into anther gear.


Other notes: I didn't remove the plug on my 1st one. Seems fine. I also switched to button heads later as they are lighter. I also did one clutch w/ just two screws (instead of 3) and it seems strong as well, tho I use manual brakes and no reverse so YMMV. I also removed the set screw that controls shift points to remove the spring pressure pulling the clutch arm in. Do not have to do this, just makes life a bit easier (as found on 1st one.)

Thanks Brian!
