Cheers, Phil.
ps running a nosram itcs speedo, if you have any experience with settings this would be great also .
Got to be batteries surely? i run a 5.5t lrp x11 and jesus my 501x is ballistic - way too fast lights the tyres all the time! - in fact im downgrading to a 7.5 turn to make it more controlable...

17 tooth or not a 4.5turn would rip on anythin from 14 up to 20 or so i would think.....get some lipo batteries is my advice - no comparison really to standard cells
