I have been trying to fix this problem for the past week and have tried everything. I recently changed the pinion on the engine to a lower amount of teeth in my bro's t-maxx (its a .15 HPI SS and yeah he runs it i fix it) i am not sure if it wasn't shifting before but now it just does not want to shift at all. I have tried loosening the set screw and tightening and a couple of places in between each time taking the truck back out warming it up and then going to speed runs at full temp.

His t-maxx has a .15 HPI SS engine, 72tooth RRP metal spur, foward only conversion and a 16tooth pinion

Any suggestions on y it is not shiftin?

this may seem obvious, but are you running it too rich?

nah i am running it at about 2.5-3 turns on the high speed needle and it hits the top of its rpm's and just sits there and doesnt shift

btw where in central jersey are you?

yeah your defiantly right about the track...even though i run 1/8th buggy could still use it for outlaw class lol. and i know where bridgewater is i used to go down that area every so often to visit my aunt. i am all the way up in the corner by PA and NY. There are some decent spots up by me for bashing but nothing spectacular

in the manual, it tells you how to adjust the gearbox to shift earlier/later. read your manual and give it a try

thanks but i tried i moved the set screw all the way in and it didn't do anything i moved it all the way out and it didn't do anything and then i took it a couple of turns in between in both cases and it would go into second at all unless i tightend the screw all the way down.

Also i know i am turning the correct screw no the one holding the clutch assembly to the shaft
