so i went to the track this evening and re-calibrated my ESC with the throttle EPA set at 138% then raised it to 140% after and if deffinatley gave me some more power... i havent calibrated the esc in a while so im unsure if its prior setting but man did i notice a difference. there was a section where i was previously having trouble tripling and tonite i was getting close to quading it... and not even on my race batterys. deffinatley helped. thanks for the input guys

Try a DX3R set at 100% and a Traxxas XL-5 (stock pos that comes in the Slash), then turn the EPA up to the 150% max. Let me know what you see.

agian, some esc's it matters, others it doesn't.
