Default Blitz ese set up question

I would like to hear any recommendations for the motor/esc/battery setups for a blitz or sct truck. I am running in a stock class with a Novak GTB esc, Novak Ballistic 17.5 and a Venom 30C 4000mah 2 cell lipo. Biggest problem I am having is the punch needed to clear jumps well. Any help is appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. But you might want to list your gearing. I'm running 28/83 on a small hardpack, with the exception being my esc an motor brand is Tekin. I've had some help with changing some of the settings in the hotwire.

Are the other drivers in your class clearing the jumps?

Also, it may be the way you are driving, try setting yourself up to hit the jump better.

I will check my gearing when I get home and list.

Most of the other drives are better drivers and they are having no problem clearing the jumps effortlessly. If I keep my momentum going and hit my lines perfectly, I can barely clear the double jumps. I race on a very technical damp clay track and my novice experience shows driving my Blitz. Even if my driving skills were better, I would still get left in the dust. They definately have stronger stock step ups. They can blow by me on the straights and they handle the jumps like I do with my stadium truck. I didn't know if a better gearing set up, a battery with more C rating or a different esc would help. Love driving the sct but feel as though my Blitz is way under powered. I am not expecting it to feel like a 10 turn motor, just need a little more punch when approaching jumps. Thanks for any advice.

to me there is nothing no harder to drive. a 17.5 or a old 27t stocker. the slightest mistake on a lap and it really shows i would ask some guys there at the track for a little help. most r/c'ers are willing to help. double check your equipment making sure your radio settings are correct, nothing is wrong on the truck and practice.
