Default Stuck in 2nd?

Hi Guys

Awhile ago I complained about the pullaway accelaration of the 2nd hand T-Maxx I bought being very poor, takes quiet a few seconds to get to a decent speed, I was wondering if it could by chance be in 2nd gear? And how could i check that its changing?

Thanks.

you will know when it shifts ,when you here it the first time it is unmistakeable.It is realy very cool.

It sounds like a dirt bike in the power band up shifting. or like a indy car shifting or street bike hauling but and shifting. it is just a smaller sound but just a sweet.



rrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how do you know it's in first to start off with? If it's stuck in 2nd, can it still pull away?

it never has happend to me before. and i am not sure if it even can happen at all. but if it could happen and your was stuck in 2nd, it would be slow at the start but still have the same great top end speed and performance.

Give that a read. Sounds like the shift adj. screw has been turned out too far.
