Thanks,

I've run down to a 4.5 with the regular RS but I would highly recomend the pro for mod. I made time with a 4.5 Novak motor and SMC 4000 pack with no problems indoors other than a really hot speedo.
If you guys are having problems dumping try running the newer V200 software and experiment with the new boost setting. This should let you run a smaller motor 6.5 or 5.5 and still get some decent speeds on the straight. Just start out really low on the turbo and tune from there (be careful).
LiPo is probably going to bring some driving technique back into mod because of the limited mAh available.
