I drag raced a buddy with the RTR electrics with 4s vs this hobbywing combo on 3s and won the races. Since I have pulled the XR8SCT for use in my DB48 and put a XR10 pro in the Ryft on 2s and it is performing great other than top speed. At some point I will grab another XR8SCT to put in my Ryft again.
what gearing are you using? Is yours faster on 3s than his on 4s or is it control?
