if you check the world championship results you'll see that JP engines were beat by far........

kyosho sirio guys did 17s high laps.......other JP guys couldn't do better laptimes than 18 flat/mid.....

huge difference for top level drivers.....
I believe that most people were using 30% at the WinterNats.

I cannot explain what happened at the WC but I believe that Swauger's 1/10 scale car was as fast as Michael's if not a little faster. Swauger's car didn't last long in the main so I didn't get a real good look. Maybe it's not the engine, could be setup, gearing, fuel, etc... who knows?
