Revo tranny

Unfortunately, yes. What setup are you planning to use (voltage, ESC, motor)? I use motor brakes and reverse in my Revo and don't have any temp issues...

I had the same idea, and could only figure out one way to do this. It would invole 2 different mixes, that were selected by a switch of some sort. Not sure what radio would be required to do this.

The esc would be set up for forward and reverse, with no braking, on channel 2.

Mech brakes would be on channel 3.

First mix would be for forward and brake. Ch 2 would be set for neutral to full forward, and ch 3 would be set from neutral to full reverse/brake. This would give forward and brake.

2nd mix would then reverse to previous setting, so ch3 would provide braking from neutral to full forward, and ch2 would provide reverse from neutral to full reverse.

The 2nd mix could also be setup to mimic what a nitro vehicle has when using a mech reverse. You switch it into reverse with the 3rd channel switch, and use the throttle control to move the truck. I would prefer to have it as shown above. Like I said, I am not sure if there is a radio that would allow this kind of selectable mix, but I am sure that a stick radio for a air/heli could do it

I think you are thinking along the same lines I am, but I'm very new at converting nitros so thats why I asked. I've got the futaba 3pm fasst but I couldn't think of how to do it.

I've got an 8xl and mm. I had the same combo except a 7xl in my maxx and am switching that to the revo. The motor stayed pretty warm so I went with the 8 when the 7 finally blew. I'll see how it does, and I intend to get a better motor/esc but it will be a little while since I've already pretty much blown my budget
