Correct the Surpass v6 is similar to the TP v5s.
I still find the TP v5s more of a small to medium track motor.
On a very large track it still doesn't have the top end of the HW G4R, no matter how you compensate in FDR, the HW still has a bit more top end since the V5s is more torque.
In the infield, I still found the v5s better than the G4R, but I lose 2-3 car lengths to them on the straights
The new
TP V6s, seems to have similar torque to the old motor (actually the gauss ready is almost 100 gauss higher than the v5s), but the main thing is that it keeps up,
matches or sometimes surpasses the G4R on the straights, but not by much.
I have played with the timing and FDR on the TP motor and it seems to like timing between 35-40. Anything much higher than 45 and the motor gets too hot and fades. You can run lower timing and lower FDR on the TP. While the HW prefers 45 timing or more and higher FDR since it has a lower spec rotor and lower gauss reading on the motor.
