locking tranny in 2nd

but with the hv maxx i cant turn off the brake function, so it will stop the gears, right?

Yes, if you lock the tranny in second, the motor will stop the truck. And you'll have reverse.

Will you still be able to use the Traxxas Center diff with the 2nd gear and still be able to use the motor brakes and reverse?

Yup. First and/or second gear have nothing to do with the gear that drives the center diff (it's a seperate gear). I am using locked 2nd gear with a center diff (although it's a custom one, not the stock one).

To lock the tranny, you can either use the little adaptor by b0gh0s, or you can easily do this mod to do the same thing.
