I will get a video this weekend at a tank battle it has good speed but i don't think i am getting the full power out of it due to it being a RX18 plan to upgrade it soon.

Thats way too slow. I hope the IBU speeds that up a bit. i cant stand stock electronics. They should just sell the tanks less electronics because 98
percent of the guys are going to gut them out any way.

Try bigger pinions...maybe 14T. Speed is important. But, how is it turning in the grass at slow speed? Slow speed control even on pavement?

Slow speed is good very smooth since it has 4 to 1 gear set up.
