Let me ask you this...is turning down the power percentage on the controller (or programming the ESC a bit) a decent option or do you recommend a different motor altogether until he gets some experience? He's a good driver (we have had SCTE 2.0, 8ight 2.0e and 3.0e also over the last few years) but he hasn't learned to just reign it in and be relaxed and get a rhythm yet.

You only limit the top end if you adjust the end point on the radio, you don't limit the power output of the motor so you still have a ton of rip out of corners. Some ESC's can allow you to detune some of this as well and some radio's can help control some of this with traction control settings but I would recommend a 13.5 or a 10.5 if he is still learning and once consistency comes up you can drop in a hot mod again.

Awesome. Danny at SMC was super helpful today on this. He said to drop down the Punch control on his ESC to 2 (stock is 4) so it doesn't hit as hard initially and adjust throttle travel on my Spektrum DX3R to maybe 80-90% and see if it's easier to drive. Then, if it's still too much, try to adjust timing to about 10 degrees to smooth it out some more.
Just to avoid buying another motor....
Tracks we run here are outdoor hard packed semi rough clay with dusting on top so it's easy to lose traction at almost any time if you just mash the throttle. Until it gets a groove in the middle, then it's hard to control because it's hooking up so well that it wants to dart instead of slide.

9 times out of 10 the AVERAGE racers lap time will be more consistent if not faster with a milder motor. Unless your track has a monstrous straight. Even then, its a negligible difference.

I threw up a longish review of this buggy on my YouTube channel for those interested.

I have an older 224 1.0 that I am gonna run in 13.5 wheeler. I know that there is a +3 rear hub that guys are running to raise up the rear axle a bit to improve the bone angle. However, I heard that there is a mod to raise up the front as well. I have tried to look on Petit to see what it was but that site is not up or it doesn't exist anymore. Any other advice to set this up for the 13.5 on HIGH Bite Carpet? Looking forward to getting this back out there because I liked it alot but got frustrated with it. My only concern are the ball diffs but I think they will be ok with the 13.5
Also where should I start with the gearing? I have to change the stock spur I know already and I think I have a 78 but isn't there a 76 spur available as well and would that be a better choice for 13.5?
Thanks!
