modellor what I meant by not allowing the car to freewheel is that if there were a oneway bearing in the 2nd gear housing going to opposite direction as the one in the 1st gear housing the shaft would always be held to the gears... the shaft couldn't freespin at all. It wouldn't matter if the clutch was engaged or not. And now it just hit me that he is right. The oneway in the 2nd gear housing would be so that the electric motor could apply brakes to the car. If you think about it for a minute it will come to you. But no Impact that's not how a nitro two speed is. LOL... he did know what he was talking about... in that situation anyway... hehe
