Hey Dwayne, welcome to RCH. Normally, we don't answer tech questions in here, but I will help you out.
The 1.5 can be tricky to set up for second gear. But as you heard in the video I shot, mine was hitting second.
What you need to do is first, warm the engine up as you would normally be running it. Somewhere around 220-240 degrees F. Once there, you will locate the rubber plug on top of the transmission and remove it. Once removed, you will need to spin the wheels until you can see a small allen screw inside the trans. You will need to loosen this screw 1 hour (or 1/12 of a turn) at a time until you get the shift you want. Usually, you will want the engine to reach about 85-90% and then shift for max power. If it's not getting that high after loosening that screw, then tighten it 1/24th of a turn at a time.
Let me know if it works out. And again....
