Default Off the pace?

So the Optima had its first run out today. Batley included a vintage round of heats in today's meeting and though all the other vintage cars were newer (a stunningly quick optima mid, a few re-re rc10s and a couple of others) what was noticeable was that on the straight I was half the speed of the others cars. I've got a 17t hobbyking bl motor and I checked the ESC settings to make sure I was not running at low power etc, but I was amazed how much off the pace I was. Do you think an optima (running a belt) would take a 13t motor ?

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...
