This may or may not be a useful post but here it goes.

I'm currently running a Reedy PT 10x2 geared out to 100 spur and a 23 pinion. I'm running full size tires front and rear; I just trued them to even them both out so I don't know the exact roll out so don't ask.

My point is that I was told by my race director that I'm running a motor with too much tourqe which maybe true however what I was looking for is more acceleration out of the corners... so I thought hey try the bigger motor. Well apparently its too big... I was told by another racer that I should try a 12x3 or a 14x3 something that had softer acceleration.

So here's the issue... I'm looking to shoot out of corners why would I go with a smoother motor? Personally, its pretty neat that I power out of the coroners and the rear end sticks out a bit and then strengthens out, and I know that's not the fastest way around the track. So would going to a smoother motor help my lap speeds or just a simple slap in the face with some time I'll master the no slam the gas method of cornering?
