I'm certainly no pro, but I've been running my HW 1s with a 4.0 in blinky on a 40x95 indoor carpet track with zero issues with TQ 16g. Motor stays under 110 and esc gets to about 140. I've even added mild boost and turbo without any problem. Temps indoors here are 70-80 F. A loss of efficiency etc might make 13/14g a better option, but it was easier not having to rewire my esc when I wanted to run mod.

Anyone have problems running 16g in mod?
