Is there anything special in setting up the gear box? Mine seems to be slipping, this is the first truck I have built (Mercedes 1850L), and want to get this one running before I build my King Hauler.

Thanks

you may have to ajust the endpoints on you radio so it is in the right spot to mesh

Make shure the servo is centered and 2nd gear works then adjust your end points for 1st and 3rd.

If fine tuning your servo end points does not help, pop the shift linkage off the servo arm and try to manually shift through the gears. See how it feels. It might take a little (very little and slow) application of throttle, or rolling the truck by hand, to let the slots in the gears line up with then dogs. Same goes for shifting with a servo sometimes. If it feels like something is binding up, you'll have to pull the covers and observe where the hold up is.
