Ok, The KR series are usually ballistically quick, if a little high maintainance

What timing are you using, which brushes and also how much do you file off the trailing edge of the brush? (once a KR has had a few skims, you need to do this otherwise you get too much overlap and it just burns the comm and brushes, generating heat and slowing the motor down).
I would usually run a KR 12turn on a 21 pinion around Bury, they don't like such a low ratio as some other motors.
