6S CRT.5 Neu motor question

Of course, this assumes you don't mind losing a bit of top speed.

Unfortunately, when I put the larger wheels on, I did re-calculate for the larger diameter and went from 17/46 to 14/46. Still heavy current draw.

Running 3-10-1 for differential weight (even put in new oil when I broke it down and moved to the new chassis) to prevent too much unloading to the front wheels - wonder if that may be affecting things.

It's weighing in around 4.5lbs - is that consistent with you guys?
