Hello i am new to 1/8 electric buggy. I have an ofna lx-1e with a speed passion 2200kv. It is the citrix motor and v2 esc combo. Ran buggy maybe 7-8 minutes and the motor was 190 degrees. I have the 51 spur and 14 pinion. Car seems like it just dont have the straight away speed it needs. Also i put diff fluids in all three diffs. 5 7 2. When i accelerate hard buggy gets on the back really hard and almost pulls wheelie caausing front tires to balloon. Should i put thicker oil in the rear shocks as i just took it straight from box and ran it. Other than these two things the buggy is awesome for the price. Thanks for any help... chad

FOR INCREASING STRAIGNT AWAY TOP SPEEDS I WOULD GO DOWN ON THE
SPUR TO 46.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE TOO LITE DIFF OIL IN REAR. TRY 5 7 5 AND IT SHOULD TAKE AWAY THE FRONT END LIFTING TOO MUCH.

I TRIED 3 IN MY REAR DIFF AND THE REAR END WAS WAY TOO SQUARLY FOR ME.
I WENT BACK TO 5 AND IT IS MUCH EASIER TO DRIVE!
