Everyone has different preferences for motors, I run a 6.5 ballistic with an rs pro 11t pinion and it flies, my truck is pretty light {Bump machined chassis, a bunch of carbon fiber, ect}, and I tried a couple 550's I prefer the 6.5 540 its a monster.. A friend of mine is running a Tekin rx8 with a tekin sc motor and once Im in front of him he can never get around me, we have raced 5-6 times and he cant catch my truck, he played with gearing and settings, but can not come around me... Although a kid at the track has a havok pro with an lrp octa wind 6.5 and he is the only truck that actually comes down to driver skill, he runs fast BONE STOCK except for steering ball bearings and he is always rite behind me {hasnt came around yet, but we have only raced 3 times}.. Just comes down to preference... I think under 5lbs 540 over 5lbs 550....
