Shifting

When the shift button on the handle is in the up position the
E-Maxx is in low gear. Normal operation is to start off in low gear
and when maximum motor RPM is reached, push the button
down to select high gear and continue accelerating. In order for
the transmission to shift, the throttle must be released
momentarily to take the load off of the transmission. This is
necessary since the transmission does not use a clutch. You may
downshift from high to low gear at any time. Often
downshifting serves as effective braking. The throttle must
momentarily be released to allow the transmission to downshift
as well.
Use common sense to protect the inner workings of your
transmission. Don't try to shift from high to low while at the
same time switching from forward to reverse. Performing only
one operation at a time will reduce the chance of damaging
your transmission.
When changing from reverse to forward, there is no delay. Avoid
doing reverse to forward "slams." Continuous abuse of this type
could result in damage to your speed control or transmission.
