R1 has half the fets of a R1Pro. (2 power boards vs 1 I believe) For 1/8 the pro is necesary IMO. I would compare the R1 to the Sidewinder and the R1Pro to the MM as far as power handling. However I like the feeling of the Tekin throtle and brake better than the MM. The MM however is easier to mount a fan on the heatsink to coo it in a heavy load situation. The Tekin controllers dont have heat sinks and arent easy to mount fans on. I sucessfully ran my buggy on the stock R1Pro for quite a while before getting the modified one from Artur. But I only ran it on 5s using a Hacker 11xl, Neu 1512/2.5d and a Neu 1512/3D. I have no 4s data to share with you. I would think the setup you mentioned would be fine for the R1Pro.
