The instructions say:
1.6 Suitable Brushless Motor:
With 2 cells Lipo or 4-6 cells NiMH, 1/10 on-road: >=8.5T, 1/10 off-road: >=11.5T
I run a 7.5T with an Xtreme Stock in a 2WD buggy with no turbo/boost and it runs fine. Tried a 6.5T (same type as the 7.5T - LRP) and speedo got noticeably hotter which suggested to me I was getting towards the limits of the speedo. Changed back to the 7.5T and heat went away.
Sure it will physically work with a 5.5T, just not sure for how long.
