| Super Slow Wraith
Tried search; didn't find anything. My newly-built Wraith is ridiculously slow and I'm not sure where to start looking for answers. Here's a (very) short video: Slow Wraith - MMP, lights flash yellow after tones, green when forward, red in reverse - Tekin Pro4 3,300 - Motor to ESC: 12g wet noodle/CC 4mm bullets - 32p 54T spur with / RR hardened .8mod 14T pinion - Hyperion 3S, 35C, 4,200 - Sensor cable plugged in, ESC set to SmartSense - Battery/BEC in front, ESC/Receiver in the rear - Stock tires/Axial Beadlocks (non-metal) - Radio settings unchanged from new profile: 100% travel, no DR, etc... I don't suspect the battery (makes my E-Revo Brushless fly); I tried several others. |

Did you calibrate the ESC to your radio? You may not be getting full throttle. Like Bongrips said,get a Caslie Link if you don't have one. You will want it to get all the features the ESC has to offer! Good luck!! |

Thanks for the suggestions. I have already re-calibrated (a few times) without any improvement. Also, I do have the Castle Link, but don't think I should have to change anything to get reasonable performance. |

Take it off smartsense and see if that makes a difference. May just try rebooting the settings to the ESC too. You could also try switching two of the motor wires and reversing the ESC settings. |

Thanks, I'll try a different setting, but I'm curious: Is the performance on my video even close to what my hardware produce? I hope not! I've seen many mentions of the Tekin Pro4's power and tendency to break parts. I'm not seeing anything close to that. It's not even breaking a sweat! I know my video sucks, but does my Wraith sound normal? I'm not expecting the same speeds I get out of my E-Revo Brushless (6S), but considering how much lighter this is, I expect it to be fast. |

Check the timing on the motor and through the castle link. I got mine set to 4 degrees with the castle link and it is stupid fast
