After a short time, the normal boost capabilities would return.


Last night I took out the air filter foam that had a spot of glue holding it well. It covers a ring of about 5 holes approx 8mm each. I left the foam out. Now all boost is reduced from first use. That is baffling!!!

TODAY every time I use it, the boost is <0.5psi and <1psi for the 2 throttle switch positions.


When engine off, ignition on and ESC on, I test the ESC with the 2 throttle positions. The electric ESC motor is spinning MUCH slower than usual.


My unit is second hand. However, all the wiring harness is new and the controller has been updated to V2. I wonder if my electric motor is causing problems. Especially since my first controller stopped working and required Rob to fix and upgrade it. I will message Rob.


Yeah this is weird something is getting affected.
