MNR reverse box?
Hi all,
I've been in touch with Chris from MNR - I'm looking for a reverse box for use in a hayabusa engined BEC...sounds like their gear cutter
is on the blink - he suggested I look elsewhere. I'm loathe to use the quaife unit as it sounds a bit average. Are there any other reverse box
options? (cant really use any of the other possibilities).
Even better, does anyone have an MNR unit they are looking to part ways with? 
Cheers.

Try the people below, I have an MNR box and other bits from Nova, having dealt with both companies I would use Nova everytime, even if you buy the
smallest part from them you are treated like royalty.

I use a nova racing reverse box and it is top notch. It is over 10 years old, i serviced it last year, all the gears and dogs were showing no signs of
wear, i Just replaced the bearings and chain. The service is excellent from them as well.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

I'll go for the nova box: seems everyone I've spoken to has good things to say about them.
Got this email reply from nova regarding backlash:
"thank you for your email. Our gearbox has 2 degrees of backlash in forward drive. We have manufactured another dog ring exclusively for one
of our customers which gives around 0.5 degree of backlash, these can be purchased seperately from them if you are interested in this
option."
Cheers!

how often are you planning on using reverse? if its rarely for what its worth wouldnt an electric reverse be a cheaper option? I admit i do not really
like my electric reverse however it is just primarily on there to get it through the iva, i can see me rarely using reverse and if i had to i would
probably give it a push anyway.

It's for use in a rally car, so needs to be strong enough to get the car out of a ditch/fence/tree top etc...
