Default Help with Tekin hotwire

I just got my buggy up and running and this is my first time with the Hotwire setup. The car runs fine except it has no grunt down low and it takes a second or do to get going when it does.

I messed with the neutral width a bit but I don't know what will get me more grunt down low. I put the current limiter at 100 also. I just need a little schooling here.

I have a Dx4 pro and I changed the frame rate to 5.5 and I did re bind. (If that matters)

Here is my setup

Tekno eb48.3
Rx8
Tekin 1900kv
5000 mah 4s
HiTec 7950 servo

Any help would be appreciated.

100% on current limiter may be the problem. From Tekin: Putting the slider in the UP position, (off) disables the limiter and allows full potential power of the system". Worth a try.

I'm an idiot, I had the traction activated on the transmitter.

Once I turned it off, the car is perfect!

Thanks for the help
