The Speed Passion (Shawn Palmer on rctech) guys did test out different specs of lipo batteries with the new stock spec speedo's and said it made zero difference to the performance of the car. They also said the sweet spot was 8 teeth wide because of the 0' timing. The only way to stop the motor torture is to have an approved list of fixed timing motors to go with the 0' timing speedo's.
Personally I think brushless is fast enough without the timing advance/turbo features and I don't see why we need to carry a laptop with us to go toy car racing always in search of that perfect speedo setup to give us a slight advantage. Throw cells at it, race it, clean it, repeat process <--
