Rage Reverse problem ?

[Vmax540]

I now have ~200 miles on the odometer and some times when not on the level I pull out and try to slide the lever into the notch for reverse and it doesn't want to go. If you give it a little throttle then clamp and hold the brake it will slide in. The dealer is a 2 hour drive one way On level ground it slides in with ease. Thanks for any suggestions.

The gears have to be lined up, if it will not go just giving it alittle gas should do the trick. I think this is normal , all the model will sometimes need allitle gas to get the gears to line up.

Yep, I agree with STORM-CHASER 100%. I have about 1200mi on my Rage and every so often need to give it a little throttle to spin the gear to the right spot to hit reverse. (Most of the time of the time when I have trouble with the reverse, it seems like I'm in a hurry like....uh meeting a groomer on the corner of a narrow trail and I'm trying to back up a find a spot to get out of his way!! ) But anyway its nothing to worry about. Hope that eases your mind. -- Stu
