Its not the batt either as its a brand new reedy 6500. We will be running out bigger race at a track which is still quite tight (under 3 CRC carpets wide) but will have a much longer straight, so im sure things will be different as far as setup. Im looking for the best bang for buck motor, that is good with temps as well as punch.
For instance, in blinky tc, im running a 17.5t LRP, because they dont mind the heat and never fade with very decent performance. But i found the same motor in 1s, sluggish and i could never get it to run hard. So im looking for advice on the 1s boosted motors
LRP, MurfDogg, Reedy, TP, D1 & D3 all work well for 13.5 boost.
Each will require a different setup.
Mostly in can timing and gearing, as the boost parameters seem close for all of them.
I usually start out with no turbo on the RS, but with full boost, and find the roll for the layout, car should peak halfway down the straight
Then add turbo to suit for high speed layout.
For a tight track, I use turbo for punch with no delay, and less boost.
Look for .5s drop from first to last lap.
Outright lap time is not important, as the race is 8m long.
