I had the same problem with mine out of the box, It was stuck in second throughout breakin. I'm used to the t-maxx so when I couldn't hear the truck shift i was confused. I started by turning out like you but ended up turning in instead. Follow the manual but turn both screws in even amounts until your stuck in first, then go 1/8 turn on each out until you get your desired shift point. I noticed it takes little adjustment to change it using 2 screws instead of one! Good Luck!

Has anyone had problems with clutch springs? I've managed to break 2 out of the 4 with not much run time at all! Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks.
