Chris,
One thing to note, is that on a 2s lipo (max Voltage is 8.4v), you might not be reaching 20,000RPM. That being said, with my understanding of the Tekin, is that if you have 25 degrees of timing, but the motor is only reaching 17,500 RPM, that you are not getting all of your timing you have programmed in. Also, the "Turbo" function may not be working correctly with the top RPM set higher than a number higher than the motor can achieve.
I ran a RS in the past and had my best results on off-road running top RPM in the 13-14,000 RPM range.
On the Tekin site, they have a setup sheet that Kevin Gahan wrote, which is for a Losi 22 Buggy, but you could reference his timing and gearing information. Kevin is the Losi Race Team manager, so I would think it is pretty legit. FYI - a TLR 22 with a 76 spur will have nearly the same roll-out as a XXX-SCT or the SC-R with a 84 or 86 Spur. He is in Full Sensored mode, 3,500 start RPM, 18,000 finish RPM, with 50 Boost.
