Anyone else not impressed with the 80mm 9 blade fan combo? My buddy just got one of these and it’s not very fast, not that it’s suppose to be a speed demon but it really isn’t that impressive.

This may sound obvious, but can be easily overlooked, but did you calibrate the ESC's throttle range?

Hans,
ESC programming guide is located in the Support tab of each plane that uses it.

You can calibrate the ESC. Look at the Hobbywing ESC manual. Basically, plug the battery into the model, turn the radio on with the throttle on high and wait for two beeps if I recall correctly, then reduce throttle to zero. It should be calibrated. There should be a manual for the T-33 in the support section on the MRC web page. If not, check another plane that shares the ESC, they're all the same for the 100A's.
PS - I've tested my "good batteries" against my "bad batteries". Both brand new, or nearly so. The "good batteries" are good for 7 more mph on the top end. I didn't expect that kind of a difference, but it's there. If you have really poor batteries it could explain the issue.

The best way to calibrate the ESC to your TX throttle stick:
1. Turn on the radio, move the throttle to full.
2. Plug in the battery, and as soon as you hear the first beeps stop from the ESC, move the throttle stick to off.
3. Unplug, turn off everything, then back on to test. You should be good to go from there.Pat

It will require modifications, but they're not too bad.

I really like how my T-bird handles, especially after removing the nose weights. Now the nose doesn’t drop as fast on knife edge. Might even attempt to hold it for the length of our 650 ft runway next time. For now quite content with how the point rolls and basic aerobatics feels. Aiming for precise handling then flat out speed flying. Thinking about what other moves I want to include in aerobatic routine.
