Default Rapid VH A6 - World Racing shift adjustment

Hey there, i bought this car, and the 2nd speed is being shifted very soon, with very low RPM and i would like to change this to shift only with 1st speed reaches a medium/high RPM.

The main problem of this car is the user manual, that is very poor and doesn't cover this kind of information.
does anyone knows how can i do that ?

Best regards,

Disaseble the transmission gears and search for a small (usually "Allen" type) screw on the "one way" gear. Turning it clockwise -> shifts later, turning anticlockwise -> sifts earlier.

the straight is to hold the gear tight to the axel. The inclined is the one you should adjust. Give it 1 1/2 turn clockwise for start and see if it needs more latency.

Now it's ok, i'm shifting when the car reaches the RPM of almost 3/4 of throtle.
I think this is the best setup to me.

Thank you again !
