Too much power

[simonrhart]

I took my Xray '15 out for a first run a couple weeks ago - and wow, I found the car to be very agile and nimble - which is great. It will take some getting used to compared to my old car. I did find however, I just have too much power. From mid to full power I found the car would lift the front up and flip over at times. It happened from a standing start too.

I am running Orion gear, with a 5.5T motor - with no boost. I am running a 20 tooth pinion with temps around 60degree c. I was thinking of increasing the pinion to reduce torque, perhaps to a 21-22. This might tame it down a bit. Don't really want to move to a 6.5T motor because I love the speed down the straight! and this speed comes in handy on big tracks not to mention I am not sure if a 6.5T will fix this issue either because higher winds tend to have more torque.

Anyone else seeing this with their XB4?

Cheers
Simon
