I would guess that you're severely under geared. However, not having raced stock in years, I'm not 100% sure what the current motors are geared at. But I know with most 19 turn motors, we're in the low to mid 6's and you're at 7.46. Under gearing a motor can be just as, if not harder on it than over gearing.

Used 28/116 with Takeoff 27 rubber....and wondering am I under or over gearing...? My motor is a fairly new Binary/Epic Roar stock (old style but rarely used before).
One thing Nexus kinda gave me an idea it is UNDER....the car is very flat after 1/4 of throttle, already MAX out with like 30%-40% of throttle, that might cause the overheat....or the motor is so under that it rev like crazy..
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.........I love this EC.

Thanks Jon and Heavy......I think I am heading to the right direction, I just need to go to the "real" track and test the running........I am more toward "UNDER" because my car launch like a rocket but top out very quick (from the stock motor standpoint)........Heavy, the track I am running is very tight - because that was my basement for some quick test running. (sorry to confuse everyone).
I've also ran my foam car w/monster stock in the basement....for about 3 packs of batteries, motor temp are about normal....

There's really nothing you need to do to the car. Just make sure it's tweaked straight and the setup is proper (just like any car) and you'll be very happy with it.

Forgot about that.

the car is awesome on all surfaces out of the box. i would advise you get some heavier front axles/cvds and a p-dub bumper to keep durability high, but the car is hella fast out of the box.
