Dang, so can someone explain why is my setup so slow? Shouldn't I get higher speeds than 28mph with that motor and gearing? (motor is timed at 18 degree)
It can't be a bad cell because I have 2 packs to try and they both perform equally and peak at 8.8-8.9V.
My bearings are all fine and lubed well (front wheels freespin for 1mn+), tranny is smooth and freespin for about 5s, all connectors are deans.
Is my speed normal or what? I keep hearing people get in the 30s with lesser motors and I'm dumbfounded...



I just checked my method 21 X 2 motor with a 23t pinion and 7 cells, 34 mph! It may be a cheap motor but it hauls (lol).




true2blue92. Good batteries are not cheap. This one area you can't really skimp on and expect your truck to perform right.
