But... As stated, the SCT is a lot heavier and more demanding of it's system due to the fact it is running equipment designed more so for lighter chassis'.
As Josh and I have discussed at length already, that another big factor is that a 4 pole motor regardless of being a 540 or 550 can draw MORE current than a 550 2 POLE motor. I run 5mm bullets on both my 1.0 and 2.0 and have zero issues. My 2.0 has a Ballistic 4.5T 550 2 pole with a Hobbywing XERUN 120A V2.1. I run exclusively carpet off road with it and it is a rocket. Batteries also are a major factor. High C rating and big capacity will help with issues.
