I have a problem, my 710 begins to shift to 2. gear wayy to fast, after 4-5 mins of driving. It is ok the first 3 mins, but then it starts to shift to secont gear, imidiatly after giving throttle out of a slow turn. It happens mostly after the straght, going into a sharp 180 d turn, when giving throttle, it shifts back to 2.
When i go for next race, after 10-15 mins, its ok again, but problem starts after 3-4 mins , gain.....

Anyone having the same prob?? or have had it?? [/B][/QUOTE]

Finken, I'm not too sure what the answer is to your problem. The one that comes to mind is that your engine is still not optimally tuned. Some engines like the JP can still run very well when not tuned to well but as soon as it gets warm enough, it really spits out power which can give the results you're describing.

Are you using rubber tires? If so, you could be over heating them by the 4-5 min mark.
