Default Reverse Module Install

I'm having trouble with my reverse module. I have it installed but can't get it to stay in either gear. I'm not using the hump pack battery, is this a must? It works some what but when I shift into reverse or forward then drive it always pops back into a neutral position, where I have no drive at all. I'm using a JR servo for the reverse, seams like it won't hold it in gear.

I heard that a 5 Cell Hump Pack is a MUST because regular AA's don't have the power

I don't think a hump pack is mandatory, you can use any servo. Torque is not an issue for switching in and out of reverse. I also believe you need to adjust your servo for max throw in both directions.
