Good acceleration, but lower top speed. Lots of torque. At least by my understanding. Anyone who actually knows what they are talking about want to comment?
Personally I was gobsmacked by the speed of this sucker even with this small pinion. Of course I had the Losi set up to 100% throttle, but when the new one gets here I am going to linit it to 60 or 80% until I have got used to the car. It's bloody rapid!!
The little programming card is a pretty cool thing. Never got to update the firmware or even get the softwar into the laptop and plug into the USB. Will do that as soon as I get the new one.
I found the slipper was too loose as stock following the manual, so try it before you put the layshaft gear cover on (one of the last ops).
Also get some adhesive velcro strips (I got mine from Halfords) for the battery strap. I just got a 4" strip, stuck it to the battery strap (both pieces of velcro attached together) and then trimmed both pieces using scissors to the shape of the strap. Then peeled off the backing of the other velcro piece and placed the strap on top of the battery in the car. Then you have the velcro stuck to the battery adn to the strap, so neatly that you can't see any velcro until you remove the strap and the battery.
