My Traxxas tmaxx 3.3 is shifting in to 2nd gear then is stutters and comes to a stop and some times comes shuts off. I have put in a entire new transmission and I am still having issues. Even when I call Traxxas they don't know what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
 
It sounds more like a problem with the engine tuning than with the transmission. The LSN is for idle and take off and the HSN is for WOT. I recommend you try leaning the HSN a little bit at a time when the engine is completely warmed up and let us know if anything changes.
From a dead stop, if you punch it to full throttle, how far does the car go before it shifts?

The truck shifts in the first 50ft or less
 
Making sure that the engine is tuned is the first place to start. Once it's tuned, then we can start looking into other adjustments.
