Are you running that with the belt or chain? I ran mine for the first time this past Saturday with a 21.5 in it and it was painfully slow. lol I was worried about the 10.5 and the chain so I had switched it at the last moment before I ran it. Now that I see they have a spur for brushless I'm gonna order that. Hopefully that will get me to a better place for gearing with the 21.5. I saw someone a while back was using a 10.5 with the stock gear and said it was about perfect, but they were using the belt drive. Good to know that combo will hold up to it.
