    the esc may be in training mode. that would only get the motor %50 power. if you hold the esc button down for a few second it will blink once then let it go that will put your esc in full power. this is all in the manual too and is the same for the xl5 esc and vxl esc. well hope that helps

    Is this truck new? Maybe something in the drive train is binding causing a severe load or drag. Is the motor or ESC getting hot?

    What are you using to determine the trucks speed?

    Don't get a metal spur. And you shouldn't be stripping spurs, check your mesh.

    Can't go that fast with those gears. 23/86 gets you 50ish. I hit 51 on 3s .

    Go 32 pitch no gear cover needed and you won't strip out anymore spurs. Just get the spur and pinion for a 4x4
