I will probably eventually need to move up to an RS-Pro. Thanks.
Gearing recommendations for 1/12th:
Motor 10.5: I ran my Tekin R1 with timing setting on 80 and a gearing of about 45-48mm (low timing doesnt work on 4 cells).
Didnt run a 5.5 before, but a 6.5 I geared at 35mm so your 5.5 will be 33 or so. Timing, pretty high I'd think, remember you're running 4 cells. Just make sure you reach the 8 minute mark without running out of battery
