Depends on what you mean by "slow" My truggy is built specifically for our local track which isn't a full 1/8 scale. It's dimensions are about 60'x170' and you can't use a top speed over 40mph. I run a 15t pinion and it tops out right about 40 so it's perfect for it's use. I have no problem keeping up with and beating every nitro down the back straight.

I know it's below the potential ability of the RPMs but it can get pretty hot here in Boise and I hate heat issues. With this setup it runs very well regardless of the conditions.

After more then 450 logged runs on my buggy and truggy i got lazy about my eagletree logger and i'm now running my cars without it, since i know that my setup has prooven to be bulletproof.

I do also run a Neu 1515/2Y (1100kv, smooth can) in my truggy (10.1lbs) but i feed it with 9s1p A123 (between 27-28V average). Max RPM under load between 30000-32000rpm which translates to a top speed of around 39mph with a 1:13,8 overall gearing.

Here is an eagletree graph of a typical run on a rather slippery track for comparision:


I'm eager to see a graph of your setup without breaks inbetween and also showing Wattage (especially average Wattage). During my rather crazyer days i drove shorter gearings with 10s1p A123 and needed 600 Watt average. I never was able to use all this power on a track which is why i experimented with gearing and cell count and came to the conclusion that 9s1p and a 1:13,8 gearing gives me just about the right performance to be competitive -> average Wattage is now down to 350 Watt.

Have fun with your eagletree logger. One of the most interesting things to do, is combining your eagletree Data to a video of you car running.
