OK, my question is this: What is better a booster or an RX pack?

The reason I ask is that I'm the only one using a booster out of 6 racers and was consistently the slowest by .5 to 1 sec per lap. Even at full throttle on the straight I was passed.

Thing is that we are all using 1S and 13.5 motors. It is divided between Tekin RS and Novak GTB 4 cell ESC.

My motor timing is 0, timing boost is 20, max turbo, .5 delay. Rollout is 60 to 70. Tires are the same as everyone's. I don't get it. Even drag racing it falls behind. Since I'm the only one using a booster I'm beginning to think that I have a power loss in there.

Next time out I'm going to try a pack.

Also a few weeks ago the timing ring became loose on my Tekin 13.5 and went to max motor timing together with 20 timing boost the motor temps went into the 160 - 170 range. Would this be one of the problems with the lack of speed and punch I have now?
