3 CH radio and mecanical breaks

[loa]

Hello,

Other question: I'm not planning on using the reverse gear on the Revo, just reverse the motor since the tranny is locked into 2nd gear anyway.

Does that make a difference?

Just so I am clear...AFTER the FOC you were able to use reverse and mech.brakes w/ the stock radio?

NO, this cannot be done without a specific selectable mix. I would think only an air radio would be able to do that mix. Kind of like an idle up, or traning mix that is selectable via the radio switches (airplane guys should know what I am talking about)

I did not think that this could be done, just wanted to be sure i understood what he was saying

Stock revo has a reverse gear setup in the tranny. When you converted it with the foc (foeward only conversion) it eliminates the servo actuated reverse. Most people remove reverse due to the weak gears. So you can either use mech brakes on the 3rd channel and no reverse, or use motor brakes (you can so that since your tranny is locked in 2nd) and have reverse.
