rootar · **need to go slower to go faster?? -** 10.13.2008, 07:26 AM

after racing with the fastest guys i the state is past weekend it became very clear that my buggy is just to fast, on the straight it was great but almost every where else i was at a big disadvantage due to wheel spin, and low traction i REALLY had to pay attention and go easy.

I also cannot get 20 minutes safely out of my 5s 4000 packs im using, so im wondering if i went to a 1512 (1500kv) or a medusa 36x60 1500kv, i could be sligthly slower, and squeeze those extra couple laps in on a 20 minutes main safely.....so would the 60 or 1512 1500 kv pull less amps in my buggy when geared almost the same, (they would be geared for 40, now im geared for 44) and i you dont know im running a 1515 2.5d 1700kv.

temps after our 30 minute a-main this weeked was
161-nue 1515
121-Mod 1 MM
113-protek 5s 4000 20c (did a battery swap halfway)
