My truck turns BETTER with the joes.... A common hi-torque ( I run the hi-tec 645MG ) servo and a hump pack has no problems turning mine with the truck sitting still. You have 4.6 in your name, do you have the new HPI 28? If so, it shouldn't have any issue with those. My SH28 used to flip the truck over and wheelie going into 2nd gear @ 18/49 gearing with the joes... An alloy clutch goes a long way to help too.

If you feel you lost some torque, consider going down 2 teeth on your CB when you run the joes.
