Thats OK, you don't have to believe me, just do the math

Granted 6S would actually = 3333.33mAh, but with the extra efficiency, 3200mAh will suffice.

I still think that 5s geared down a little would be a better choice for bashing, especially on a grass track. And if he wants to gear up a little for some speed runs, it will be more than ready.

Couldn't agree more for bashing.

For racing, 4s is plenty and even sheds a little weight from the lighter 4s pack. Lighter= less strain.

But I also have to fall back on Steve Neu's recommendations of his motors being design to be most efficient in the 30-35K rpm range.

Yes, for racing, I agree; 4s. But he did say he's racing on a grass track.

It should be set to whatever you have it at during ESC calibration.

I usually set my EPA to 100% during calibration, and then increase it to 105% for operation. This makes sure I get to WOT even if I get a little component value drift on the throttle pot.
