Default B5m setup advice for turf

I am in need of some advice on setting up the B5m to run on turf
everyone in the class I will be running will be running a hobbywing 21.5t Quicrun 3650 g2
we have no other restrictions
so the big thing here will be driving skill and set up
I know this motor winds out fast so I will be playing around with my gearing to get all the top end I can without heating motor up to much I am starting out with 69/32 that will give me a FDR of around 5.52
that is where I am so far

Here’s everything you need to know about B5m setups in one place. Team Associated B5 & B5M Setup Sheets
What were your motor temperatures with that gearing? Seems like you might be a bit under geared for a 21.5..
