nitromotorhead Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Reports of link not working New Link wmv,9309 kb file (Built the 3 speed up from kit, it also has the reverse in situ.) I have had to strip it back down to adjust the shift point for first to second a few times, usualy takes 1/2 to 3/4 hour from test drive - strip down- ajust -build-and back to test drive. The video starts at holding the first gear cog and clutch holder for the second shift. Then the second gear, third gear and then the third gear clutch (note the correct way round for this or it will not shift from 2ed to 3ed.) finally the box is reassembled. I have chosen to use synthetic PTFE grease inside the box casing etc. just noticed the heading was too long and it’s been cropped down at the end, so it says ‘for t’, I haven eaten It. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzi220 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 can you definatly hear the 1st gear chnage into 2nd with the 3 speed in a 4.6? hpi said that you might not be able to hear it becos the 1st gear is very short and meant to be that way?

Mel Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I can hear mine change twice but that could be because i adjusted 2nd before i put it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) I adjusted the 2nd gear clutch by half a turn clockwise (for now) I did'nt touch the other one the guy at hpi said I shouldn't bother and that the 1st gear is for roar power but everyone says it changes too quickly, to the point u can't even hear the change Edited September 26, 2005 by Mad Hatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzi220 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 lol, I jus got a email for hpi, he said don't bother but told me what to do anyway. He said unscrew it? anti clockwise???!! but that will make is shift even earlier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i dont think he knows what he is talking about lol because the last thing you want is for it to change earlier than the factory setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromotorhead Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks for the feed back on the video! As the shift positions are preset for the 25 engine, both in the kit, and pre built 3 speed box. They will probably need tweaking to suit your engine and preference. Shift position for 1st to second is very quick/short (almost instantaneous) in the factory set position, so I decided to have it changing a bit later; it’s a fantastic hill climber now. If I set off gradually, just to avoid a wheelie/back flip then go to 3/4 WOT on grass it will shift to second gear in 2 seconds, and third in 4 from setting off. But in that time it as covered a lot of ground lol, so I will probably be adjusting things again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
