The jaguars have a 5ms update period, the Victors have a 10ms update period. You already know that. What you didn't consider is that the radio packets come at 50hz, or every 20ms. Thus, you are updating your Jaguars with the same data 4 times before getting new data. The faster response does nothing. Plus, with all of the network delay, 5ms isnt going to do anything.
