My car is now much slower than other mini's.
I am being past my a Novak ballastic 21.5 mini.
Anybody have any ideas as to how to get my mini more competitive?
Maybe Granpa with help with a better motor suggestion?
I have tried different rotors in the motor, but It made only a slight difference.
Basically I am being passed on the straightaway, but not in the infield.
I think my suspension is about as good as it gets, although Granpa may disagree with that.
Thanks in advance for your help.
You may have the timing set to high. All brush-less motors will run like Tarzan but once the timing is past the sweet spot they will run like Jane
