Hey Guys, Thanks a lot for your input. I guess I need to get some real world data on how much amps are passing through my setup with the help of an onboard ammeter/voltmeter. This will confirm the proper course of action.

I will drop down a tooth or two since I need a different ratio for our tracks current layout as well as drop my initial amp burst.

Later,
Forward and Brake w/ reverse lockout
Bracke Amount: 40%
Punch Control: 60%
Drag Brake: disabled
Start Power: Medium
Motor Timing: Normal
9.6v cutoff

The expensive thing is buy a more powerful pack. Kokam/Orion 4800's are my pack of choice...and Crash's.
I think the timing and throttle curve adjustments will do the trick. I think my batts are in the same category as the kokams but I will definitely try one of the new 20c+ packs just for comparison.
