Status: offline 		I just (finally) got all the parts in for my 2 speed transmission and got them put in.
I followed the directions to the T....
The car won't freewheel backwards, and when i start it .. the wheels turn, and no matter how low I idle it they still turn..
When I put the car down to drive it turns off (Because the wheels hit the ground , thus stopping them, thus stopping the flywheel)
I turned one of the gears backwards that has a 1 way bearing, then the car won't roll forwards, but it will backwards....
I turned the car on to try and drive it and it wont drive at all, the clutchbell turns and the gears turn.. but no car :P

Arg!
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks!

Status: offline 		maybe one of your bearings is put in backwards the one-way bearing that is.

Status: offline 		If it helps... It was intended for a HPI RS4 2 (belt) and mine is an RS4 3 (shaft), I had to order a gear shaft for it... because that one for the belt didnt fit...
but the guy I got it from said it was used on his RS4 3

Status: offline 		I had the clutchbell screw too tight, thus not letting it free-spin...
It's all good now

Status: offline 		I feel slightly stupid.. I got it all fixed and was so excited I drove it around in my Father's doctor office on the floor...
How am I going to know when the 2 speed catches?

Status: online 		You'll hear it. The pitch of the engine's sound will change, like a dirt bike shifting. You might have to adjust it a little too. Mine was a little tight, and took a dozen or so tanks to free-up enough to shift consistently.
