Bump my old thread but I'm still having no luck with the cars top speed and its hurting my lap times.
I've changed the gearing to the smallest spur I could find for the Zero a 66T and I put a 38T pinion in it to give a FDR of around 3.3 and I've leaned the timing right out. The car still feels about 5-10kph slower in a straight line than the competition
I'm running 40c 2S Turnigy lipos if that makes much difference. Also using a Speed Passion Reventon Pro in blinky.
Starting to think my motor is a lemming. After a 5m run its up to about 60c so its getting warm but not too hot.
Maybe a different motor?
