The one problem with Tekins is that they are a bit slow from a standing start, especially with high motor timing.
A little slow would be ok. Two weeks ago the guy three spots behind me passed my before the 1st turn. This past weekend the 2nd place qualifier had to hit the breaks to not hit me as he was lined up right behind me (about 3-4' back). Keep in mind the cars are all running the same running gear EXCEPT the ESC. Same motor, battery and gearing. So they should all accelerate in a similar fashion. My car is the one of the fastest lap time wise and on the straight so I know the issue is not in the car itself.
As for being crazy slow... the straight is slow yes but the infield is pretty quick. This past weekend the fastest lap in 17.5 blinky was an 8.8 turned in by Dana Bailes. I turned in the fastest SPEC class lap with a 9.6 so about 8 tenths slower.
