puting the reverse back in?
ok the truck came with forward ony upgrade and i was thinking puting the reverse back in.
because sometimes i get in tight areas and allways got to go get it.
and i was wondering how hard will that be and will it be worth doing it to get the reverse back in?
oh and i herd the forward gives it more speed and acraction how much diffrence is it?
also i took the engine out and cleaned it and when i looked at how to take the drive shafts off the tranny all i see is a pin but how do i get that out?

I would go this route instead to save the hassel. I hate taking thng apart when someone has been in there already...

The pins should be allen scres just find the right allen wrench and take them out, if I'm thinking of the right thing. As for the reverse, is it worth it well thats up to you on weather it's worth it. It gives you a little more power as there's less rotating mass to get spinning, and less weight overall so your truck gets to handle a little better and accelerates a little faster because of the extra rotating mass and the overall mass to the truck.
But weather it's worth it is up to you, as far as getting into tight spots well dont drive into them tight spots

As for me, reverse is the main reason i bought my revo, i was so amazed the first time i saw the revo back up!! I don't care about the few extra ounces the reverse gear adds, i don't care about the marginally slower acceleration, i don't even care much for racing my truck, i just want to have fun and love to see when it backs up!!
As 125cchyperman said having reverse is up to you!! Removing the drive shafts require you to unscrew two hex pins on the drive shaft on both sides of the tranny, unscrew them all the way out then you'll be able to slide the shaft up into its sleeve (making it shorter) and thats pretty much it!!

And to make sure I don't go in reverse while driving, i put tape on the trigger. lol
