Good evening. I recently purchased the leopard 4082 and seaking 180 amp speed control kit from ose. I did the install and put in water for first time this evening. Stock pitch prop but brass. The hot racing spn 1000e, running venom 5000 mah 50c 3 cell batteries. I also have the upgraded shaft. I was really expecting this thing to run mid 50's It only ran 43 on radar. The only thing I did that I probably shouldn't have is used factory traxxas connectors instead of the supplied bullet connectors. It also killed the batteries in approximately 4 min of run time. For some reason I'm thinking there is something wrong. The motor never sounded like it revved Always sounded like it was struggling. Could it be the connectors or is this all I should expect. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
