I have not tried a different 21.5 motor no but I have replaced the sensor board in the motor. One of the other guys that normally runs spec at The Gate is running 17.5 now to prep for the champs so maybe I can try his motor. I'll have to ask.

Ok, so I changed some settings in the ESC and they helped but have not eliminated the issue. Basically I set the throttle minimum to max based on a FB post from Randy Pike about how to properly adjust this setting. Mine worked out to be best at the max setting. This has helped some but the other SPEC cars are still much faster at the tone.

I plan to try the 120% radio trick tomorrow. I have set the ESC with the Radio at 100% and now I will turn it up to 120% on the throttle end point. I would think expo would do the same or similar thing but maybe not. Hopefully it will help. If not I will have to get a new ESC.

Thanks for all your input.
