Yes. I'm running a 3speed with reverse fitted on one truck, my other truck has the sportzilla chassis (one inch extended) with 3speed and soon to also have reverse.
I'm pretty sure the truckzilla 46 conversion runs a std savage transmission

I heard the reverse can wreck you whole gear box if you are driving forward then hit reverse. I also heard even a high idle can ruin it, dont know if its true!
Apparently its hard to install aswell, not for the limited edition i guess though.

You will break the reverse module if you switch from forward to reverse (or visa versa) whilst at speed. A high idle will cause the tranny to rotate so if you try to change then it may break it as well. Just lower the idle...
