Second for those running the D4 SS (1S) what have you found gearing and timing wise to be its sweet spot. I am running 69/32 and 50*s of timing (while 58* was way faster it got to hot) but I have found this motor to be strange and takes a diff gearing and timing combination.
Thanks!
reedy are not great packs for stock. Chances are, you are just used to worse packs. Drop them on an IR checker and you will see. Keep in mine, Reedy is not into the "stock game". Locals have tested a lot of batteries. The orions were deemed to be turns. Started off great and quickly faded away. So far, the 6+ month old Trinity 100c packs are holding a low IR. But you will pay for that. The turnigy ultimate's are ok for the budget racer and so it the vant stuff from dirt cheap RC.
