Default T-Maxx 3.3 Won't Shift

Hello, i've had my T-Maxx 3.3 since December and have had very few problems with it. While I was running and tuning it last week I noticed that it did not shift. I've tried holding it wide open for several seconds but it still wont shift. While tuining I changed the glow plug, cleaned it off with nitro clean and adjusted the high speed needle. If you have any advice please help.

Default RE: T-Maxx 3.3 Won't Shift

Change the shifting point and see if you can lock it in second (if it is stuck in first). This will tell you if the tranny has an issue and thus unable to go into second gear. Second, your tune might be a tad off but if your around 200 degree's it should be shifting. @ 220 it should be shifting within about 1.5 seconds when up in the air and you mash the throttle (no resistance).

If it shifts while the tires are off the ground and not down it is usally the tune, from what I've seen. That also indicates you are very close to being "in-tune"
