Anyone managed to get their Sonic setup so it has a lot more rip out of the corners?
While mine seems to have pretty good speed it seems to lack some of the grunt out of the corners that motors like the x12's have.

Running with 2 notches of motor timing on the older style can the car's performance seemed very 'flat'. Once the timing was up to either 2.5 or 3 notches it started to come alive but still didn't quite have enough rip.
The following vid was with the timing at 2.5 notches geared at 7.4
Bare in mind this is the smallest track I race at and at some events this year I'll have to compete on tracks big enough for 1/5th scale nitro's.

Mine was dark grey car starting from pole in this race, sadly it was the B final ;
