Default New guy and a question... "built in reverse" GY6 engines..

Hello everybody. Looks like a great forum. I hope to have some fun soon. My question is about the GY6 engines with built in (internal) reverse. Here's one for example.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/150CC...Q5fAccessories

and another... http://www.motopartsmax.com/index.ph...ducts_id/15403

What I'd like to know,is how strong are these reverse gears? do they break easy? Also out of these two examples,whitch one is the stronger version? The gear select levers go into the case in different spots. Are they built tuff?

The reason I ask all these questions,is because I read this thread here and saw all this damage http://buggymasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1052 Is this due to abuse,or just a poor design?

I would like to have a reverse gear for my project,but not if it breaks easy.

One last thing... With these internal reverse engines,do I just stop,select,and go,or do I have to stop,select,rock vehicle back and forth to get things to mesh,and then go?

Thanks in advance, Dude
