Reverse is acting up. On the ground no reverse, wheels off the ground it works.
Stripped gear or what?
 
More than likely. Reverse is a very weak spot in the trans and almost anyone who runs a revo on a regular basis removes reverse using the traxxas forward only kit (part no. tra5394x).
 
i am one of the ones who has removed it before it broke. its actually a lot of weight when u take it out and hold it in your hand. for those of us who have BB revo's the weight isnt an issue, but reliability is, and that was a point in the car i didnt want to be replacing a lot, i have to replace the rest of the gears enough with all the torque
 
Before it went it out I thought I wanted to keep it, but I have noticed I spend more time flipping it over than picking it up cause I need to reverse. Think I will go ahead with the delete kut.
Thanks
 
yeah and after driving for a little while without reverse you will notice you just drive it better and very rarely need to actually reverse.
