Some background on the build: I have a hobao mac star .28 6-port, standard plug out of a sportwerks turmoil pro, seeming as I can’t get parts for them, I’m saving that for another project, it’s all there, just needs tires, a wing, body, and obviously an engine, back to the mgt, the previous owners of it were abusive to the pull start, and shattered the barrel from yanking on the pull cord like it’s a damn bey-blade, I have the ae pro carb with the adjustable fuel jet, and the nice slide, and the stock exhaust until I can get the side header and use the buggy exhaust. Anyways, the troubles I’m having are it seemed as if the clutch was extremely slippy, and like it was almost 1-1 gearing, it wasn’t shifting most of the runs either, so it seemed as if it was stuck in second gear, I put new shoes in the clutch, lubed the shafts that they go on, started it up revved it, (just in case any grease were to fling out) popped the bell back off and cleaned it one last time before assembly, so it was dry, that way shoes are easy moving when they’re ready to engage or disengage, and clean surfaces for gripping, still the issue persists, I know it’s not the clutch, I checked the 2 speed adjustment and it’s fine, the slipper clutch is fine, it still however won’t down shift, it will sometimes but it really doesn’t like it, I have the forward reverse sevo unplugged and just sitting in fowards, as I’m using a 2ch transmitter for the time being, I don’t know what it could be, I heard some people have had issues with the one way, but how would that effect shifting? Also when it is in first the very few times it is, it wants to turtle 24/7 it’s so hard to keep the front wheels down it’s not even funny. Also if I do a run and it’s in first it shifts perfectly, but once again, won’t downshift 9/10 times. I’m just confused as to why its not downshifting to 1st, any help would be appreciated
