in that class. I can't imagine a 17.5 in a 4wd buggy. What gearing are you at? Can you basically hold the throttle wide open the whole time?
No ESC Boost. Only motor timing is allowed.
Currently running 30/76 with no timing on an Orion VST Pro 17.5T.
Haha no you cant hold the throttle WOT all the time. Gotta remember most tracks in Aus are outdoors, so even if they are high grip clay. They still get a bit of dust and can get quite loose.
Stock is all about maintaing corner speed, you dont have the motor to bail you out.
But yes you are right watching Mod 4WD after Stock 4WD is like watching it in fast forward.
