Hello Slash Setup Racers... I need some help as I can't quite figure this out. I have a slash and run on carpet. I put a Novak Havoc Sport ESC and 17.5 Novak motor in with a gearing of low 70's spur and 30 pinoin. The truck seems fast as I won the A-Main this past Friday, but it doesn't deliver the pop that I would like. I am running the 17.5 advanced 3/4's of the way to see if that would help but it didn't seem to improve much. I'm curious to know what others are running in terms of gearing with a 17.5? Does it make sense to run my Hovac ESC with a stock motor? Any advantages?

Thanks in advance as I'm totally stumped here.
