Nitro with Reverse: Unprecedented innovation with the first, Off-Road Vehicle with a fully-enclosed two-speed transmission with two speeds forward and two-speeds reverse. This patented design is the first and only to allow full proportional control of your Throttle and Braking in Both Forward and Reverse.  The Third radio channel controls the forward/reverse shifting. A mechanical lockout prevents accidental high-speed direction changes.
