• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    RTS Reverse Operation

When they used the gear for reverse they had to strech out the shift points and first gear is weak. I know you need rpm to get this rig to roll...

    RTS Reverse Operation

    When I shift into reverse gear and throttle up the gas, the engine rev's shurge up and down. It's like there is a limiter trying to cut the RPM. It keeps the RPM down low. I know this was not the same when I picked up the 2011 RTS. Any thoughts to my problem? Thanks Bob
