Set-up Advice for XERUN 120A 1S - offroad

[Hail Ming]

Hi Chaps,

I've decided to have a go with a brushless set-up and so I'm after some advice on general starting points for setting up the speedo for off-road 2WD buggy use.

I've got the Hobbywing XERUN 120A 1S speedo and a Speed Passion V2.0 Ultrastock 11.5 motor (3100 kV). It'll be used in a Mad Monkey on a bumpy grass track (Hinckley). What I'm after is a set-up that will give me smooth control in the in-field and good speed on the straights. I'm a pretty consistent driver and my approach tends to be 'less is more' - I'd rather have a slightly slower car that I can gun around rather than an uncontrollable pocket rocket.

With the above in mind, any pointers/set-ups would be appreciated...

Thanks

James
