so what sort of motor is that moving the gear wheel then? looks like its the whole motor being lifted into contact then hit the power button - is that
how it works? cool idea if it is..

Yes the whole motor/gearbox is moved up to the diff mounted spur gear, its a small motor with a high ratio gearbox of about 100:1 and is much better
than using a brutal starter motor. Gears are 10mm alloy. It moves my car back at about 2mph but it will move it over a 1" block of wood no
problem

That likes quite a good system and as most other comments would be interested in one if you do make a few up

Just an update on my electric reverse set up.
I have been using it over the summer with no problems so far. It is slow but will move the car backwards every time. Its been wet and dry several
times now!
I was wondering what the interest would be if I developed this into a kit. The main demand I would think would be from the racing fraternity because
of its light weight. I would have to put some work into some cad drawings etc. and I dont want to do that without some feedback. I would also need a
guinea pig to try installing it in their car. I can take some more pics etc if wanted.
Thanks Andy

I would Andy but I reckon I'm going to be very much in the minority needing it to act on the prop adapter because I'm Live Axle...

i would guess the race boys would need it a bit faster so the gear ratio on the motor may need altering

Nobody is realistically going to reverse in a race... If your nose is against a barrier you're virtually out of it anyway. 10k rpm and a dumped
clutch will get you out of most situations.
