U need to get the reverse primary gear(s), the forward/reverse shaft, and the micro servo that controls the forward/reverse....I am sure I am missing something and I know someone else will chime in where necessary.....

and possibly the linkage from the micro server to the transmission gear selector shaft otherwise Matts is right on!

Although you want reverse you will probably be better off without it in the long run. Most convert to a foward only and do away with reverse all together.

I don't disagree with Matts or sb13 but I think it depends on what kind of driver you are. Even now that i've been driving for a year and a half I still use my reverse every now and again. It saves my lazy rear end from walking over and turning the truck around when it gets into the wrong place and going forward is no longer an option. Although, without revers you lose a very little weight and your truck won't studder when it first starts going forward.

If you are out to just have fun, then reverse is for you. If you are the kind of guy that likes to get the most performance from your MT possible, then by all means remove the reverse.

Dont forget to pick up a 3-ch radio as well. I am asuming you have the 2 ch radio that comes with the new revo.
