Well, here's what I got from JohnRobHolmes on RC Crawler: "Gear down. You are geared way too high. Put a 13 or 15 on there. Then turn your startup power to high, it wont affect your startup speed. What is your drag brake set to?"

Another guy suggested to put timing to medium, I'll go ahead and do everything suggested so far and see what happens. I might be going out for another run tomorrow at the ultimate crawling grounds Vasquez Rocks, but I have areas around my house that I can still test it out.

I'll be sure to let you guys know how this turns out, I'm anxious for this setup to live up to its full potential too!
