Advil is right with FDR and it will depend on track layout. Technical or fast and open. However any value close to 4.0 and a play around this mark is a good starting point.

Temps around 65C/70C (148F to 158F) seem to be a good happy point for the motor. Obviously lower would be better but no greater.

If this is the one, uhh, it doesn't say what chassis you are racing...

what is a good area of roll out for the 13.5 I have it in my 10x xray and looking for that sweet spot but also trying to keep up with the other cars and reaching temps of 185F or higher. Running a tekin esc as well.
