3 Speed Issues
To sum it up,
I'm either missing 1st or 2nd gear. I can't tell for sure which one, but If I were to guess it would be 2nd that is missing. Can anyone tell me what to look for. Thanks for your help.

RE: 3 Speed Issues
Yes, it is a three speed. It has fairly decent low end and I'm sure it has all the top end, that's why I think it's missing 2nd. I seems to work fine and then it shifts once and the RPMs go way down and it takes a while to accelerate.

RE: 3 Speed Issues
I'm guessing it did work&this is a problem that just started.I have some famly things Ihave to go do right now,but when I get back I will see if I have a spare 3-speed.If not I will open one of mine up & try to help you out.It' great to hear from a nitro brother so close,I'm the lone wolf around here. Do you have any good places to bash up there?

RE: 3 Speed Issues
Yes, the issues did just start after I took it apart. I've got an idea to fix it that I'll go try.
On the other note, I did not realize there was someone so close either. I usually drive at the BMX course here with a buddy thats got a Revo. I think we use more than any bikers do. I don't know how often your in Steamboat, but you should bring your truck out and come driving sometime.

RE: 3 Speed Issues
Well, I figured it out. It's always the simple things that get you. When I took it apart I didn't tighten the 2 to 3 shift enough so as soon as it was in second it went to third. Now its time to go bashing!

RE: 3 Speed Issues
Glad to hear you got it fixed 
No problem to take a 45 min. drive to have someone to bash with!!! I don't know if you have a LHS there,so keep in mind I have a pretty good supply of spare parts,so if you ever need something just let me know! Next weekend is no good for me,but after that I will have time.stay in touch & we can pick a day.I will bring 2 or 3 trucks so we wont have to stop for repairs.
