I think we need to keep in mind that the flux and erbl are "step up" vehicles... So most urchasers have some idea about electric rc prior to getting them. Most are not going to drop close to a grand if they do not know what they are getting into.

I do agree that the instructions should have sme sort of "gearing while testing" info that would accompany using a temp gauge. Something well written like the traxxas nitro break in instructions. Baseline info for gearing could be attached, along with the formulas (or a link to BG's site) to calculate speed and gearing... This is about the only way to work around the various falsly claimed lipos.

CC does provide a pinion with the monster combos, I am guessing it is an 18t or so, to give good all around performance in an emaxx or erevo...

Hpi's manual is quite poor, and really needs to address the gearing a bit more. Std gearing advice is necessary, such as start low, and temp frequently.
