i have mine set at 70% punch which is basically 30% power for the punch...and i really hope since i have it at so low power, it doesnt mess with my mid and top end...does it? so when does it actaully give it 100% power...right after the initial squeeze on the trigger?

reason why i have it set so low is because i remember when i just ran stock 7 cells, the truck would haul a%# from the stand still, but now after i went mmm/7xl, the thing flys mid and top end, but doesnt even compare with the low end it had running stock. im thinking of changing the punch to 80% so that i can push the throttle almost fully without it wheelieing so it can take off like it used to but even then i might not because its giving it so little power now. ill have to go try when i get my replacement fan from CC.
for the meantime, does anyone run their punch% as high as i do??? from what i hear, alot of people run at 30%, if i did that with mine, my truck would be slow as a turtle taking cus if i give it any more gas itll flip.
is my batteries just that good? i run neu energy lipos 2x2s.
