Again great videos. Learn a lot from them. Got a question. I have Losi 22s with carbon fiber chassis. Castle Monster x and 7700kv Castle motor. Running 25 pinion 78 spur. Consistently in the 2.5s at 56-57 mph. Made 2 passes 2.49 at 59 mph. Setting in controller and esc timing seems to be the tune car likes but I want to get in 2.4s 60s consistent. I am thinking about doing gear change instead of tinkering with settings in esc. Timing, ramp etc. would that be a good starting point to get more time and mph out of car do gearing change?
