Is it me or does the strike have not so great accelleration with the out of the box motor and esc? It seems like it takes it a minute to get going to full speed, even if i have the trim set to 1 click before it makes the truck actualy move forward. Suggestions?

Yeah there is one that runs here locally and it's speed is quite sad to be honest.
He's running the stock esc/motor and every slash can just pull away from him accelerating.

My Strike, out of the box, would straight up run away from out of the box Slashes both in acceleration and top speed but the motor crapped out after 2 race weekends.

What is weird is me and another guy (who has a Slash) both swapped in Trinity Duo 2 17.5's and are both running them on Traxxas VXL esc's and he runs away from me now (and I have more timing set on the motor in my Strike).

At the moment I am chalking it up to the entire bottle of Stealth grease I put on the transmission gears to try to get them to last any length of time., that or I got a lazy motor.

So do you think the out of box motor is poop and under performs? I would say yes for sure, Wonder if Losi would send me a replacement for free, lol
