Had a Tekin Rs for my drift car before and loved it. Considering picking up a Hobbywing setup thats 60 amps. Will this be sufficient for drifting? Don't really know how many amps the Tekin was.

Need more info, what car, what motor, what gearing?

Tamiya TA05 V2, Exotek chassis, 8.5 motor, gearing is around 6.5 fdr

I'd drop the gearing to around 7-8 FDR and make sure the belts aren't over tight but besides that should be fine.

So is dropping the fdr necessary to run a 60 amp esc? Cuz i like it at 6.5

The higher the FDR the higher the amp load. If you have a Watt Meter or an Eagletree you can measure amp draw and max amp spike during a run and gear accordingly (which is what I usually do) but if not, it's best to drop the FDR at first.

Great. Thanks so much.
