revo tranny

[BrianG]

To add to JThiessen's post: You don't need the Optidrive for reverse. It just makes sure that the truck is stopped before it will allow you to shift into reverse. If you take it out, just make sure you don't shift into reverse while moving, either purposely or accidentally.

If you don't need two speeds (which most BL systems don't need), you can lock the tranny in second gear. This will give you reverse and motor brake. This eliminates the brake servo and associated parts, which reduces weight.

TBH: The stock reverse mechanism is very weak. Many people have stripped it, even when using relatively low-torque Nitro.

I agree with you Brian, but it sounds like he is using it as a nitro tranny, not brushless.

i want to nitro-rize an ep truck.???? why? haha dun ask....hahahaha

Oh. Well I guess you don't need to lock the tranny then.

hey guys, got a few more Qs for you(may sound silly)..hope you can help.

when the shifting shaft is pushed into the tranny, is that "forward" or "reverse"? need to confirm this before i start fabricating the tranny mount, (might be fabbed the wrong way round without knowing it and have my project run backwards :005: )

thanks for the help guys!
