I couldn't find anywhere in the rules to say it wasn't legal Daz. When I used mine loads at regionals, MAM, etc I was never told off for it even when race control said "stop showing off just because you have reverse" on the PA... I have also asked race control a few times if it was allowed and never been told no.
I know other classes say it must have reverse (Mardave I think) and there was another class it wasn't allowed which I can't remember. Nothing about it in 1/10th off road though.
The only time I've been told to turn it off was at PDA for that 1 off meeting in Feb '10 which I assumed because it was running it's own rules not BRCA.
I turned mine off because I sometimes found the car would stop dead in the middle of corners. I put it down to reverse kicking in. Now it's turned off I haven't had a problem since.
i would almost certainly put it down to this.
ps. I filmed the 1st half of your final last night Michael (had to go get my car ready at the 3min announcement)
