First check throttle calibration, battery condition, and drivetrain drag. With the car lifted, make sure the wheels spin freely and the ESC reaches full throttle. I’m assuming the RDX kit gearing, which uses a 20-tooth pinion.

Then change gearing based on what the motor is doing: if it revs freely but the car lacks speed, try one tooth larger on the pinion. If the motor bogs when you get back on throttle at the exit, try one tooth smaller for stronger acceleration. What motor KV, pinion, and ESC timing are you running, and does the motor sound like it’s revving or bogging?
