Ah, I understand. I wasnt thinking that with reverse turned off the transmitter would still send the signal to brake servo. Thats awesome. I seen a brushless conversion kit on ebay for around $80 and contemplated just buying it. If you havent seen one it is pretty much just a transfer case that the motor mounts to. It has some transfer gears in it to step up the gearing to get the proper rpms for the tranny to run at the right speeds. I would have thought the brushless motor would turn similar rpms to a nitro motor, or higher, so there wouldnt need to be so much tinkering around with gear ratios to get the overall speed up. I have been trying to sell my Tmaxx but thanks to you I have some motivation to start tinkering with it again. My biggest concern before was brakes. Thanks for the info.
