Its not a real power house, don't worry about it, you may think that its the coolest thing in the wrold, but after teh 3rd or forth time you will find jumping or racing ot be fare more enjoyable.

RE: Tuning Problems
If you're trying to get wheelies by tuning the hsn you'll never get it. The wheelies come after you tune the lsn after you tune the hsn.
You need to read this and follow the instructions. You'll be amazed at how well the truck will do.

Go to page 1 or 2 of this forum...I answered in detail........look fo r slipper clutch. U cant just tighten the little nut. There is WAY more to it than that if u dont want to do internal damage

RE: Tuning Problems
Just put the small allen wrench that came with your truck in the little rod about an inch in front of your spur gear / slipper clutch and then tighten the little nut with the wheel wrench that came with the truck. The slipper is behind the spur, it is a little skeleton with three break pad like pads, in front of that is the brake disk like disc. The spur is attached to the skeleton with three small screws, the spur does not need to be taken off to tighten the slipper and you don't need to take off the little nut to replace the slipper. Tighten the nut just past snug and you should be fine. Every thing should be the same because the T-MAXX 3.3 has the same transmission as the REVO 3.3.
hope this helps
edit: you cannot do any internal damageif you only tighten it a little past snug.

RE: Tuning Problems
I agree about not doing any internal damage a lil past snug....but time and time again I read posts where people are telling others to lock em tight to get wheelies.......not such a good idea if ya know what I mean
