OMG, I wrote a lengthy response earlier this afternoon in which I hinted at imbalanced flywheels. Unfortunately my iPhone ate it. (Dirty rottn' rassa-frassin’ fur-bearin’ varmint)

Bottom line, Mojo and I are in agreement, "louder" doesn't necessarily mean "more powerful". Case in point, I had a stock Demolisher that was very loud. The kids called it the "Vacuum Cleaner". It had one imbalanced flywheel. A bit of electrical tape on the inside rim of the flywheel fixed the problem completely. But it wasn't any more or less powerful before or after the procedure. Just quieter.

The true test is to compare it against other stock flywheelers in your arsenal. If you're getting twice or three times the range out of that Modulus, as would be expected with upgraded motors, then maybe your theory holds water. Otherwise, you've got a regular ol' blaster with a run-of-the-mill flywheel issue. Hoping it's the former. Suspecting it's the latter.
