If you launch this sandbox make sure to start and then quicksave right at the beginning, second go into translation mode, and then press "W" Notice how quickly the lander will shoot up into the air.
Now reload the quicksave and test again with the pixie engine (press space a few times, I messed up the staging)
Notes: The Pixie engine is only at 50% Consumption, but the RCS still should not be able to out perform a pixie so easily!

lol, thanks, @Mod! No, the thrust is now 1/5th what it was, so you'd need to increase the powerScale x 5 to get it back to where you needed it. Sorry for the inconvenience!
You can use the Power Scale to get 10x increase on power on those RCS nozzles. You can also XML mod them to be even more powerful and save it as a sub-assembly so it's easily accessible for future crafts.
@AndrewGarrison but I really need strong RCS thrusters for my gigantic crafts :( could you just lower the specific impulse to 125 seconds?
@AndrewGarrison looks like it is time to stack some thrusters!
