Hi, so i got my son a Carnage 2 and his friend got a maverick phantom xt. we are family friends and so the dads and sons have been out a few times with cars. The maverick out accelerates, has a faster top speed and also lasts a lot longer on the same 3700 7.2v NiMH battery than the Carnage. Both vehicles have 550 15T brushed motors and the same larger battery. I can't figure out why the phantom is so much better. They seem to weigh similar amounts. The gearing on the phantom is a 56 spur and 15 pinion and the carnage is 66 and 17. So I thought these seemed similar. Any ideas what's causing the performance difference ? Thanks.
