Don't understand your post.
Are you having a problem with acceleration?
Is your acceleration fine, but you want even more speed?
You need to be much more descriptive with your issue for people to be able to understand and therefore render advice.

assuming that it is a 2 speed, it is very possible that it is stuck in second gear.. seen it happen.

ORIGINAL: peewee146

i have a 1/10 scale redcat truggy and i need more take off help
look under the truggy here is a picture of where the 2 speed clutch adjustment is, do not touch the one that says this hold it in place, thats what holds it on the shaft, now see if you can see the grub screw in the hole that says this is for the 2 speed, if you can see the grub screw in there turn it to the right/ clock wise, and that should make it shift later, if you dont see the grub screw in there then it has come out and you need to get a new clutch drive. and if it is in there and its tightened all the way then the ball thats in there is stuck some way and you can do one of 2 things take it apart and put it back together after you unstick it or buy another drive clutch.

yup yup

turn it no more than a quarter turn at a time trying it after each adjustment, if it begins to stall you have adjusted too far

yes. That will loosen the spring pressure and it will grab sooner.

You're gonna need to post a video, bud. Nobody knows what you're dealing with except for you, so we're not going to be much help unless we know what direction to go.

Ok let me try to get some help here..I have a Valcano SV30 with the sh.18 it ran great with the moderate gear set but soon it ripped the teeth off so I bought a 2 speed conver. installed runs like an old man on cruches.Tried going to stocl settings on carb and it dies after about 40 feet or so. Thought it was the clutch changed nothing with a new one..This engine is crazy touchy with adjustments..Got the LSN about level with collar and the HSN 2 full turns out..HELP!?
