Purchased an ATLAS RS-1 and it ran flawlessly as Eng. #1. When I assigned it a new number it didn't run as well. Hesitates at low speeds. Any thoughts on how I can stop this from happening or do a factory reset on the RS-1 and just assign it as engine 1. It is my only ATLAS O engine,

Try adjusting the speed steps, there's some code in the manual
Atlas RS1’s have changed over the years. The first models had no cruise. They then had EOB and the latest has ERR cruise. Sounds like you have an EOB version as they slowly ramp up to speed. You can play with the settings. It’s a few button pushes. The factory setting is 128 steps. You can change it to 32 steps which speeds up the acceleration.
It would help to know what you have. Changing the engines ID has no bearing on how it runs.
One other thing. You will want to try different TMCC settings. On the Cab2 you can tell it its either TMCC, Cab1, or R100, or even Legacy. I believe Cab1 is the default. Also press L at the bottom for the momentum.

Similar question: Response earlier this month. (May, 2020). Click on the underlined phase to link. There is an additional link to the EOB installation/adjustment instructions in this tread.
Testing and adjustment information begins page 28 of this document. All was done, at that time, with the Cab1 remote/TMCC Command Base.
Somewhere in this information, EOB speed control, could not only be adjusted, as has been mentioned, it could also be turned Off, with the Cab1 remote.
Additional information, also talked about the wheel metal, and cleaning paint from the wheels/ and flanges.
Best wishes with your project, Mike CT.
