So I have now got a new B/L system to remedy the speed issues, and a new 200mah lipo rx pack to help my servo(KO PDS949 I think?) be a bit faster and help with a bit more runtime.
Questions are 1) What would be a good starting rollout(in mm-we are metric in Australia!
) for a 5.5 motor on a med-large flowing ashphalt track and 2) Do I need to run a voltage reg on the rx pack or will the lipo voltage fry things? Running LRP Sphere Comp/x11 5.5t, servo as mentioned, and Futaba HRS rx.
Thanks

Matt; welcome!
I ran some 5.5 on a med carpet at about 1.30" r/o... quickly converts over to roughly 33mm. Asphalt is always higher then carpet and being bigger, I would think you could manage low to mid 40's with a 5.5. I haven't tried the rx lipo pack, you may want to ask the folks at LRP.
