I cut mine at 4 Volts. Bring it with you to BTH and I'll set it up for you.

I use a mod arm...They are balanced better than stock or 19 turn arms. Its in a mod can at 0 degrees of timing.

Another thing that works well is to take one of those ultrabird motors (if you have one) and turn it to 0 degrees timing. That's what I'm using and it runs very smooth, low amp draw.
