Ok here is some footage Airtime did today.
It is how you shift the turbine from forward neutral reverse.
I just press the micro switch as I pull the shift lever.


I think its pretty cool how it works.

The propeller actualy stops dead.
you can see the cv grease from the exploding boot.
I would not want to try this at speed.

Stay tuned for some High Speed runs!

This is the best thread ever.. i became a member to this site for 5hours ago, just so i could read this thread .. it have educated me to see how you have done things, i have a dream my self, and after reading this the hunger after a single T58 powered skater 28 with ASD8 Drive have gone wild! Many thank for hours of interesting reading! and god luck with your new Twins . wish i could get a ride in that beauty, just to bad its on the other side of earth :P..

However we will be experementing with it and when we do we will post the results.
