You do realize that while running a reedy 4.0 550 you'll probably need to limit your run time to around 10min reguardless of gearing, esc or batteries etc.... Maybe 8min if it's really hot ambient temps to begin with. This is a good example of why I like the tekin pro4 motors so much, they weigh a lot less and deliver similar or greater performance with lower temps. This is purley based on my own experience with a bunch of different motors and esc combos. I've decided the orian r10pro 2-3 with a fan and 4pole firmware on a pro4 4000 works awesome for me for small/medium indoor. I'm no expert so results may vary.
