Hi guys. I bought my daughter a Vorteks a few months back and it's underperforming expectations. When I run it side by side with my Typhon 3S in a drag race for example it just gets annihilated. I turned the punch up to 5. Checked and added a half turn on the slipper from stock and went up to the 20 tooth pinion (adding a bigger fan at the same time as I was concerned about cooling). It still wont pop a wheelie from a standstill on pavement, whereas my Typhon will basically flip over backwards. Maybe it's a bum motor or maybe we got it too hot one day at some point, I don't know. Looking at other threads it seems there are some great motor options out there like the Hobbystar 36xx motors at 3050 or 3100kv that direct fit but before I go that route I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on anything else I might try? Thank you for your advice as always. Love this community.
