i was planning to break all the rules in this thread, rs with 5.0t on 1s lipo using a 2s lipo receiver pack.
The regular RS is rather unhappy on 1 cell with anything less than a 5.5
The Pro fits fine in 12th and the car should balance out fine with a little added weight you'll need to get up to the minimum.
If you want to try running a hotter motor with the regular RS I would recommend really heavy gage wire to the battery. The heavy wire helps act like a heatsink. Also, Only servo tape the outer edge of the speedo down. The tape insulates the fets (they're on the bottom) and it makes things run hotter.
Just remember that running the speedo right on the edge of cutting off is really hard on it. Don't expect it to last forever this way.
