I pick my motors based on RPM at 10volts. Stateside most proxy are set at 10-11.5 volts. Quicker reaction time for drivers versus cars being too fast for drivers and fewer offs equal more fun.
13.8V to 10V is over a 25% drop in performance which could explain the 'slow', 'underpowered', 'lacking punch' comments we're seeing for some cars.
