The Jato transmission has a one-way bearing in the first gear, which does not allow the use of reverse by default. I did not do the single speed conversion.
I originally ran the truck with a servo for the mechanical brakes. In the second configuration, I locked the transmission into second gear, which bypassed the one-way bearing in first gear and allowed me to use the ESC for braking. In the third (and final) configuration, I unlocked 2nd gear and added a servo again for mechanical brakes.
If you want to do some custom work inside the transmission, I'm sure you can get it set up to use the ESC for braking.
