It can be used Tony but it's just the general impression I get from reading around, the 550's are quite demanding on the ESC apparently. The RS Pro is quite good as far as limit's go so I think you should be fine anyway, I just wanted to be 100% certain with mine that's all!
Unfortunately mine won't be ready for a little while, still need tyres, RX8 and some saddles. Let's get the money pit that is Neo Buggy out of the way first!
