Should I stick with the 12.5mm rotor or go for more RPM with the 12.3mm? I'm running a HW v3.1 1S ESC and fresh TP batteries.

Maybe there are some ESC settings that can help a little? Since it's blinky, there's not much to change. I added some turbo during practice to see if more speed was the issue and sure enough... I dropped 2-3 tenths immediately so now I'm chasing power.
Here in Japan we run 21.5/2cell and the TP V1,V2's are missiles when you add a 13.0 mm rotor. Everyone that races this class buys this motor. Everyone. I presume you are running ROAR rules?If so, I would look at getting the 12.5 rotor. Torque is king.
