Status: offline 		I notice after making a high speed pass and power sliding, It is slamming back into 1st gear before take off. It chipped a tooth off the 1st gear and did it several times. I checked for loose bearing , and also pinion lines up good with gears. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If the truck slows down the gears change down. It has nothing to do with your engine being lean.

........................Groundman I had a similar problem on my Wolf Fusion my was caused by a slightly bent tranny shaft. But after reading your comments I am starting to wonder if the plastic they used to mold the gears is the problem?? Looking at the gears compared to 1/8 scale gears they don't look very beefy. I hope that Schumacher comes out with stronger gears.

Status: offline 		Nitrohead , I went a bit richer and menace runs like a champ. I have been busy with homebuilding and havent had time to run the menace. Last time i ran it the humidity was low and temp was cooler. I live south of New Orleans and in summer we have 80-100% humidity so this makes a 2-stroke very finicky. I totally agree with you , we need an upgraded gear system.
