When I run my other 22 with a Novak ballistic 17.5 have no problem clearing the tripple. Gearing is identical on both cars 27/70. but the redline feels flat I've tried motor timing at 40 and all the way back to 0 only change I get is motor temp. Any thoughts on how to wake up the tekin?
Is this on a small track? If it's not you're under geared a bit. The Gen2 is a good motor but the Gen3 is head and shoulders better to be honest.

The Gen2 likes to be around 35-40 on the can. Is it the standard can or the RPM?
