how to get the most out of 17.5
i lost some speed somewhere in 17.5 class..i dont know if its my motor.. my lipos..or my esc
i just started charging my 5000 40c's @ 10amp..(did i mess my lipos up by doing this??)
i been running the same 17.5 motor..(duo 2)..temps around 150 to 160
or i had a viper esc & it stop working..so i put in a 4year old GTB..could it be the esc..because with my viper in my car it was really fast & with the gtb its @ an ok speed.....just wanted to know what y'all thought
thanks

You can try changing the gtb throttle profiles, and make sure the motor is running at 30° timing, nothing less ....

well i did the different profiles..the deadband..min drive had it all set @ its most aggressive points....now im thinking it maybe my power trans cap...(dont know if that makes a difference in speed or not)....i did see smoke come from it back in the day..but the esc it still work so i thought nothing of it..(i wounder)
