A 6.5 Ballistic with 12* of timing in the motor and 30* more in the spedo using full time sensored mode gave me the same top end as my two closest competors that wrer running 4.5 550's. It was also a power hugry setup that required the use of a 5300mah 65c Thunder Power battery for a 8min main. Only complaint I had was the preassembled shocks let the screw for the piston back off and fall apart.
See my post above. Is anything being done for people that have bent shafts and springs due to this?
