I have things adjusted a little different, but not by much. I have the punch control at full power, alot less brake, smaller throttle deadband, auto lipo, and a faster arming time. Just pp on how you want to run your truck. If I were you I wouldnt mess with the punch control, you can use your transmitter to tame your truck if it is too wild. I usually slow my trucks down when I go to the track and speed them back up for bashing. I get too power happy at the track.
