It is seriously mis-tuned...

But as to your questions, Stock vs. Stock, the Maxx should be faster and quicker, but this is comparing the S25, not the new Savage.

Another cause could be a loose spur gear. Tighten it up all the way and then back it off 1/8 of a turn. If it's still not pulling them up you need to lean the LSN a bit.
