Aquacraft/flycolor vs castle creations speed controller

[Logan woods]

Is the castle creations esc that much better than a aquacraft esc, because I'm running a 2030kv motor with a 160amp aquacraft/flycolor esc and I seem to be running slow, or could it be my prop I'm running a octura x645 two blade

Try switching the leads around and also switching the program around. So you are reversing it both on motor and the speed control. I had my castle 8S do that to me. Worked awesome after that. Seems like it is designed so reverse can still be used but is limited in that direction of the throttle response.
