I have also read this thread and I've got to say, it all seems too complex for most users. Does anyone (hint hint RCM) make a "kit" which includes the modified parts?

I don't have a Revo yet but I'm considering one. I think I'll use mechanical brakes because they are already there...is there some very simple way to lock it into 2nd if I don't want to use motor brakes? The Tekno site seems to suggest that there is a very simple way without tearing it all apart and grinding this and that.

One more bonus question for all you Revo wizards - is the revo really up to a brushless conversion? Is it strong enough? What breaks? What should be replaced before use? Anything that must be done to the tranny to keep it strong?

Thanks guys...
