It's physics, and it won't change no matter how much you hate it. It doesn't matter if you use CC, tekin, novak, or some other brand.

The heavier you get the truck, the more you need to gear down as well. It's not just wheel size but rotating mass and total vehicle weight as well.

His problem is a combination of stupid moves.

1. Heavier tires and wheels
2. Adjusting the EPA to limit speed
3. Putting a sock on the ESC
4. Not adjusting gearing
5. Not verifying that when he reassembled the truck that there was no binding

All of these combined for disaster.

Last note I will make is that anyone investing this kind of money into a high performance BL RC should spend the 15 bucks at least for a temp gun and monitor your setup constantly after any new changes.
