Hopefully both of our approaches will work great. BTW: the epoxy is rock-hard. It makes a solid sound when I tap on it with a screw driver, almost like knocking on a piece of aluminum, just a little more dull. When I had my tranny apart trying to figure out how to lock 2nd gear, I thought about somehow using screws to connect the gears, but was afraid I'd weaken them with the holes and screws. I guess the only bullet-proof method would be to create a new gear that is a combination of the 2nd gear and that other one, or something to that effect.
It's neat how several people can come up with so many different ways to achieve the same result.

That's exactly what I was after: using more stock Revo parts. Mike was extremely helpful in getting some of the custom parts I needed (like the drive
shaft) but it would oh so much easier to use what's out there already. I don't mind modifying the chassis and fabricating parts, but if one of those parts break, it's not like I can run to the LHS to get a replacement, I'd have to re-fabricate another. Ugg.
