do you know how the timing is set? If you race at a club get someone there to have a look at it.

Also what are your batteries like.

what type of motor is it chris?
if it's not a rebuildable motor, like the yokomo pro stock, then there's not really much you can do other than get another motor ::)

i know chris he has a duratrax evader and has the stock 21 turn motor with it he has tried taking it apart and cleaning it but is unsure what to do i have tried helping him but i am just bin racing for bout 1 year so i dont want to give him wrong advice

What are you comparing the 21 turn motor against to beleive it is slow?

There is no magical way, if the motor is still set as per bought (i.e. timing) and the brushes are good and springs strong and equal, then thats about your motors limit. (Unless you are called Chrisburgess :P)

I recommend cleaning motor with dry cotton buds regular rather than motor spray. And I don't think comm drops will help, a !little! oil on the bearings/bushes would be better for it.

Also, make sure it is geared right.
