IMO the reverse is WORTHLESS. Not even worth it. I have it and have honestly NEVER used it. I like the maxx, I have bog bores, RPM arms, resonator pipe, motor saver air filter, 3.3 and all aluminum skid's. One BEAST of a truck. have only killed spur gears from my bad meshing skill.... With a little cash, the maxx is a great truck. I'm no racer so the revo is out of the question for me, and I love the wheelie poping action on the t-maxx.
