I've already done the forward only conversion on my Revo tranny, so the reverse servo and mechanism and gear is gone already. That's why I thought I might be able to use the ESC braking. If I'm not using reverse at all, I shouldn't be hitting the OWB, unless the ESC brakes actually function like reverse. In which case the OWB wouldn't engage until the truck completely stopped and tried to go backward. Right?
I guess I don't understand what effect the OWB could have on the braking function if it never goes to reverse.
EDIT: After looking over the exploded view of the tranny, the only OWB I'm finding is on the shaft that came out with the FOC. Is there another one on the gear set? The exploded view only shows regular bearings I think other than those two.
