We need more info on the size or track you run for gearing info.

The switching frequency is effectively used to adjust the torque of the motor, the lower the frequency, the more low-mid end grunt you get, but there is a trade off as top speed will be reduced.

In Mod I run 8KHz as the motors have lots of low end as it is.
For most of my 13.5 boosted tracks I run 2KHz as this seems to help fire it our of the corners more.
At the same track a guy who had a Black Diamond in 17.5 (I've never run blinky in TC's) also ran 8KHz as when I turned it down to either 4KHz or 2KHz he said it felt like it had reduced the top end
Perhaps if he had installed taller gearing it might have helped.
