I would like to rebuild my car and make my buggy a sort of a truggy by changing wheels and the clutch bell, would any one care to explain how 2 speed transmission work on nitro rc-cars. I am afraid that if the tranny senses the rpm then its going to switch way too late if i downsize the clutch bell and upsize the wheel diameter, but maybe that not how it works. Any explanation would be just great.

well, if I tried to give an accurate explaination of how it worked... it wouldn't be as good as this article http://www.rctek.com/transmission/in...ny_design.html
but usually, you can set the shift point to wherever you need it to be.

NO FREAKING WAY! are you for real?!?! you can change the point when the tranny switches to the second gear??? that would be very splendid btw, the pictures and diagrams are not working for me, could you post them here please or send me an email with everything just pasted[[email protected]] , thanks a lot

yeah, most rc's with 2 speeds have an adjustable shift point. I thought it was just my pc that didn't show the pictures, but I guess it's the site maybe?[sm=71_71.gif] anyhow, the words sure help alot.

ok, awesome, thanks!
