ESC setup and gearing

[trap121]

I need some advice on setting up my RX8 and what kind of gearing I should use. Iam new to 1/8 racing and need some direction.

I have a RC8t with the RCM e conversion, not sure what size spur....what ever came with the conversion.

My esc and motor is the RX8 1550 combo. Should be at my door step tomorrow. I will be running 6s 35c g3 hyperion.

Now here comes the questions......

-Using the hotwire, what settings should I set the esc at? Track is about medium size.
-What should I set the lipo cutoff at?
-what size pinion should I use? Trying to avoid heat but still keep the power, iam in NC so it gets pretty hot
-is this a good setup for my truggy?

thanks for the help tekin!!
