Probably installed correctly or with low batteries, but with any stage 2 motors the car would be pretty fast

Are you sure you didn't tighten the motor as hard? Fresh batteries? Also check if you put in the corresponding gear for each color. The Blue (Top Speed) Motor is supposed to have low torque but very good top end, takes a while to reach it tho.

the blue motor flies. either your batteries were low or you have a busted motor. it has a little less torque but after about 3 feet it flies by a stock motor like its standing still and pulls

I've read quite a few post about new x-mods with stage 2 motors being slow, and mine did the same thing. Re-assembling it and paying attention to all drivetrain parts helped a lot though. Don't blame the users on this one, its a pretty common problem with x-mods.
