Suspension and shifting question

[JSY0829]

Is there a trick to finding the adjustment screw to change the shifting point on the Revo? My Revo is not shifting into 2nd and I can see the opening but am having a hard time finding the adjustment screw. Also, the suspension is sitting way too high for may taste. What's the best way to lower it?

TIA

There is an adjustment ring on your shocks that you can screw in to lowe the ride hight. If its still too high you'll need softer springs.

The tranny, have you touched it before? How well is your engine tuned? If its too rich it won't rev high enough for it to shift.

A better way to lower the revo, is to change the position of the pushrod on the axle carrier, this won"t affect spring rate letting you keep a firm ride if that's what you like.

Just bought the revo...used. I'll try and lean it out a bit and see what happens.

did it come with a manual? theres a pretty in depth section on suspension. you can even adjust the roll center of the chassis. depending on where those pins are now, you might be able to get it a little lower that way too. experiement... experiment... experiment. there are SOOO many different combinations that will give you a different ride height and overall feel. enjoy.

How much fuel is through it? It will take several tanks before it starts to come into it's own and shift. You best bet to make sure it's shifting or not shifting is to run about 3/4 throttle in a straight line. The lower throttle setting will allow you to hear the shift or lack there of easier. It should shift in 30-40 feet.
