The WS7 is more of a top end engine, I run a Losi buggy that comes stock with 13 48 gearing and I always changed out to 13 50 to get the bottom end I wanted, the engine still has plenty up top for long straights as well. Tune the engine so the bottom is nice and crisp and responsive. If after being on the track for 5 minutes or so you notice the low end power really falls off you can fatten up the bottom some.
Been there done that on the flame outs after fueling!!! So it appears that you run yours not far from the "factory" settings; HSN 3.5 LSN 5? There is the option to go with a larger spur gear on the RC8 buggy. Maybe I should try that as well? Never had a problem with top end! That is why I LOVE this engine! Thanks for you help!! I have added a turbo head button as well and run an O'Donnell T97 plug. I have played with the T77 as well.
