It also could be how much advance you're using. My 17.5 car has a KO BLZ350 speedo and a Novak Ballistic. The timing on the motor is set to 50+ degrees of advance. The motor did nothing till we cranked past the label. Maybe you just haven't added enough timing.
We don't run any timing in the motor or the ESC.
We run them all together and you can't tell who's running a silver can and who's running a 17.5 without asking them.
