I've only ran my 2.0 once and it seemed to lack any punch off the line. At this point I know I'm still working with my gearing as the motors not even getting warm to the touch hardly. But would like some good baseline settings for the esc though.
Get a hold of the LCD programmer....whatever software inside your speedo, is the very basic setting. Once you have the programmer, you download the SP software from SP site...go into the program, on the last window, you should see there are like 10 different type of "Program" within...those are the programs for different type of motor, speedo, on road or off road use....those program are the one that make the different.
For your 17.5 motor, if running on road, you want the program with the number "312a" at the end....that program does increase a lot of punch and top end speed, a night and day different compare to what you are running now...if you are running 13.5 or faster motor (like mod) then you can try the "323" software...I am using the 323 software for my 3 years old black can SP 13.5 and still can hang with the Tekin RS with turbo....but only because right now we are running indoor carpet and Turbo is almost like hardly any advantage.
You must get the LCD programmer then try the software 312a...also, DRRS (more aggressive drive or less), I set that to 9 (for smaller tighter carpet indoor, most aggressive) and 8 (for larger more flow indoor carpet) and timing is always the max 26.25.......but then I use DUO 2 Hurricane BOOST motor setting my motor timing to 10* with 4.85~5 final drive for RCGT. For stock touring may be 1 tooth taller (the most).
