Hey guys, please help me out here.

My race on sunday was terrible, went to first qualify and my car was so slow....dont know why so I just forget about the second and third qualify and I left out the race too...just couldnt compete with them...

I don't know what was wrong, i checked everything on the car, but the speed was just not up there. I re-set my ESC over and over again but no luck, i was using the First model Cyclone, so i change to another ESC, but same thing, still not fast...i dont know...something is just holding it back...

My batteries should be OK, they're 1700 and 2000...last week running it was alrite, but that sunday was just terrible...the radio is fine...

I'm only thinking about something is wrong with the motor...but i got it new and only run it like 15-20 times or so...is this the problem....now, when i turn on the car, the motor wont even turn now...

Also, will the Power Capacitor on the Cyclone "eats" up the battery? I was so frustrating that day that i want to sell all my stuff...

Anybody could help me on this?
