I'm trying to get a feel of how the car is setup along with how you drive. I'm not saying that a 5s/1700 setup doesn't work by any means.

If however your turning down the power that much I'd suggest other changes or a different motor.

For example since your PC is down to 60% I'd say that you need to gear up a tooth and try reducing power differently. Try turning down your epa's a bit, say 90% to start out. If your car is only 1mph that a nitro car that also leads me to believe you're undergeared which can cause excessive revs and motor heat. This is not good at all and will hurt efficiency.

We're going to be faster than a nitro car. It's "how much" that is key. These motor creat so much torque that if you rev them out they waste energy and get hot.

I agree that a bit heavier than a nitro is ok. It does give me an idea of what we're working with though, and no there is no "weight limit."

The more questions I ask the better advice and guidance I provide you.

I want you to have the best experienec possible.
