Re-tuning your engine may help..

Although do you know how to adjust theshift points??

You may need to adjust them

i did the same thing with one of my savages and it sounded as if it was not changing gear but after a while i noticed that the shift points were shifting too soon it was going from 1st to 3rd in about 1sec!!
what i suggest you do before adjusting anything is hold the truck up off the ground and slowly pull the trottle trigger fully open on your transmitter and listen carefully for the shifts.

Retune the carb....it's mandatory after upgrading to the 3spd. The gear ratios are altered enough to where the prior tune is not going to work that well. Never adjust the shift points until you retune the carb or else you will just create major headaches for yourself. After adjusting the carb you may find that you do not need to change the shift points-I've never had to adjust the 3spd's shift points. Just like you never adjust the carb's LSN to set the idle speed, you never adjust the trans to compensate for a mal-tuned carb. Also make sure the slipper nut is tight.....a loose slipper will prevent any shifting from happening.[8D]
