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.

Would you suggest gearing up to a 16T instead? Only the very fastest nitro cars were quicker than mine, and only by the very end of the main straight. When I said that it was slower top end I meant that at absolute top speed it's slower. Having said that, you seem to suggest that even at WOT it should be faster?
I turned my PC down that far to help efficiency, not because it was uncontrollable (though it has also helped my driving). If you reckon a 1400kV buggy motor would be better, then so be it. I haven't got enough cash at the moment to afford a new motor as well as a slipperential.
Thanks for the quick turn around of the new rotor though! Top service. Just hope they last a little longer this time...
Thanks for the advice so far, I will take heed.
