Used a 10.5 last year in my 22 with 60amp hobbywing, used version 2 stock software.
Tbh I pushed my luck and got away with it but had the timing and boost set as high as I could to be competitive. Have to drive in the old days with cells and brushes!! but f##k did it get hot.

I've just got a 9.5T tekin to use with my sons in his caster 4wd buggy. I wont be boosting it. I hope it runs OK :)

I have used the latest 930- firmware and previous firmware since lastt summer in my Losi 22 with a SP V3 6.5/8.5 and 10.5 indoors with no issues whatsoever
You can use quite a bit of boost and turbo timing without harm - its all down to setup and gearing;)
Heck at talywain regional last year i ran the 6.5 with endball timing at max and also about 20deg total timing between turbo and boost and it didnt overheat even when the outside temp was 23 deg!!

The motor limits are conservative and as i say aslong as you dont use touring car type speedo settings its reliable:D
