I had to make several ICS adjustments to the board, but it still rolls way too much off throttle. After a couple of runs, I'm down to a 5:11.881, still 13 seconds slower than my PN 70T car. This 3500kv motor doesn't have the acceleration or drag brake that my PN 70T car has, so I don't think I'll be any faster with it, but the biggest pinion I had was a 12t, so I was running 53/12 gearing. I prefer the feel of the brushed motors, but I just don't have much time with the brushless ones yet.

This post makes me feel better. I was starting to wonder if I needed to go BL to be competitive.

Cheers,
Jim
