Yeah i've had this ride for a while (few months) but not as long as my other 3 cars.......

My other 3 vehicles are:

2 touring cars 1 nitro and 1 eletric both I've had for about 6 years and I'm currently rebuilding them.

And the famous Super Hornet.... I got that one when I was a kid......  That one is just about ready to retire....lol

I just got back into RC racing/bashing and a few friends at work also have them and we race during lunch and after work.

I use nitro cleaner and compressed air from my 33 gallon air tank pushing out 90 psi    :mwahahaha:  It just blows all the dirt out with ease.

Once the reverse gear blew (Damn traxxas built-in optical reverse sensor failed while performing a 20++ foot jump) I got the one-way tranny upgrade and never looked back.  I mean realistically who uses reverse, and with lesser moving parts the Revo is even faster now!

Do you reverse wheels spin at all?  First I would fix the tranny, and then if your reverse wheels still aren't spinning I would check the dog bones and make sure they are securely fastened to the diff on both front and rear.  If they are than you have a bad front diff it sounds like.....
