One thing I heard using the Tekin RSpro is that if you are in sensor mode and have it at zero the speed control still has 15 deg of timing added. Something about the speed control using the sensor can see the rotor coming. You have to be in blinky mode or duel mode for zero timing. I notice my motor ran hotter in sensor mode. Not sure if other brands have this problem too.
I just went based off what the AE guy running the 6.5 (Wacther) on the AE setup sheets was running for a starting point

Cav and Numedahl both run 5.5's and have their gearing listed as 16/93... I guess AE team guys can afford to run overgeared or they have special motors or torque rotors and don't mention it on their setup sheets.
