I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I can't get a 17.5 to run any faster with boost than in blinky. I have tried small increments of timing, large increments of timing. In a short course truck I have geared from 6.0 fdr to 9.5 fdr and nothing; it is a pooch. I have tried to understand the timing theory to see if it was my ignorance that is the factor, but my other companies speedo's seem to do what this can't. One thing I have noticed though; endbell timing on the viper motors have more impact than the speedo timing. I am hoping that with a 9.5 in a 2wd buggy it will be enough, cause it is coming out of my sct.
Not calling you out by any means, I just know that something cant be right if its not getting any faster. I have a few guys local that I have setup with 17.5's and speedos and timing, and they are ballistic!

Their is definitly something you are doing wrong, or a faulty motor then. At the JConcepts race back in February, a 0 timing event, my stock 2wd buggy with a 17.5 and VTX was pulling other stock motors down the straight.

Gearing makes more an impact on top speed then timing dose.

BTW, does anyone know of a thermal adhesive pad that is strong enough to use to mount the ESC on aluminum chassis? It would be nice to make use of the alu ESC case, to conduct ans sink some of heat through the chassis. Regular servo tape is very good insulator. Normal thermal tape is not strong enough. I don't want to use thermal epoxy.
