A 5.5t is probably good for a 6 or 7 min run at best and will place huge demands on the drive train and drivers wallet as things will wear out at an alarming rate.

If you already have the Ezrun 5.5t combo then gear it around the 8.5:1 mark and try not to run the car for more than 7 mins at speed otherwise you will cook it.

If you don't already have an Esc/motor combo then I would recommend something sensored with a turbo feature like the Hobbywing 120a or 60a v2 ESC and 13.5, or 17.5t motor.

Either of those will be more than a match for a sensorless 5.5t and a lot easier to handle.
