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).
Thanks for the reply Bob! I can confirm that I'm using FM ver 5.5. On profile #3 the performance seems great, but if I move to any of the race profile's or practice, the speed/acceleration is terrible. I'm fairly sure my gearing is solid, so I can only assume this motor simply cant compete with others in the stock 17.5 class. I shouldn't have to run boosted, just get over the second hump in a triple jump.
