When using the default load outs 1-3 race blinking mode, I have to peg the throttle just to barely clear any jumps on my local track, which is relatively small indoor. If I use load out #4 in race open mode, the truck feels more like what I would have expected, but then I still cant understand why the other trucks in my stock 17.5 class seem to blow me away without being in open mode.
Additionally, if I want to use practice mode, so I can access reverse, I'm back to having horrible performance with un-modded motor settings. Why cant I use boosted settings and have reverse?
Andy help would be greatly appreciated...!
Verify you are on a55 firmware, then load profile 1 (for blinky) or 3 for boosted and see if you still have power issues. Every person I have talked to so far who has said they felt the motors lacked power was running old firmware so check that first.
As far as gearing, I don't know the TLR truck but just check with one of the locals who runs it (or someone here can help with gearing).
