It seems like I have to give the car way more throttle to get the tires to start turning than what I remember. My transmitter is showing 20% throttle before the tires start spinning even sitting on a stand. Does this seem right? Once the tires start spinning it's like the drivetrain is out of balance as tires fluctuate in speed. What should I start looking at? Thanks for any help.
That ESC by default has a very small initial throttle setting. Use the programmer to turn it up.

Thank you for the soldering tips and recommendations. I'm definitely rusty on my soldering skills with my lapse in being in the hobby
Definitely recommend the pinned post on soldering at the top of this sub forum. A real treasure of knowledge

Just wanted to come back and update this thread. I appreciate everyone's input and help. Swapped out to a different sensor wire and used the programmer to help tune the throttle. As for the variation and out-of-round tire rotation; I ended up flipping on side of my diff height inserts which was causing the rear diff to be misaligned. Solved my issue.
