    Got the spur gear and pinion up to 32P. Now i believe that the motor timing/punch control are messed up, and it barely will move, if im lucky. Anybody willing to let me borrow their castle link to program it?

    check the start power on it ,it might be that. You can use you're radio and just follow the beeps but that's not fun at all.

    i looked at the manual for the programming by radio, and it got SO confusing, that i didnt even want to try it, but i guess i am going to be forced that way. but it doesnt even seem like a turbo lag, it just doesnt perform period.

    Okay, got a programming card yesterday, and got it programmed the way i want it. It is now in the batts. I really wasnt wanting to drop more $ into it.

    maybe change your gearing? Watch the temps if you do though.

    right now, i am still running with the old 3300 NiMH batteries. trying to save up to get 2 5000 3s lipos and a charger at the same time

    but with the close to 6 year old batteries, it still pulls close to 30
