its all 27t stock motors at my club. i usually run 1/12th.

i have 2 x gtb's and 2x ss 5800's but would prefer to use the gtb's in my b4 buggy and 1/12th

thanks

I have used the 13.5pro with the original SuperSport esc. I had to use the SS while I was waiting on my GTB spektrum version to come in a few weeks back. Anyways, the car will coast into the turns due to no drag brake. So I had to setup the car accordingly. Plus I used the brakes more in the hairpins. It wasn't bad. It was drivable. But if you ever get a chance to swap out the SS in the future, I'd do it. The weather was cool/warm. And my friend did manage to thermo it after the mains when I let him drive it. I'm not sure on the thermo cutoff temp on the SS. But it did hold up during the 3 qualifiers and main. I'd recommend a fan if you do use it.
