Hey i want to make my tc3 go fast really fast with my brushless motor. they said to gear it 90/20 which i think can only make my car run about 28mph? do u think i would be alright to gear the motor 85/23 which will make the car go about 35mph i think. high low can u gear this motor? i was hoping for atleast 40mph but i dont think i could get that. i have the ss5800 novak brushless motor. please help me

If you are careful about the motor and controller temps (use a fan on the controller) you might be able to gear that motor to around 7.00:1 or maybe a little lower. Novak recommends 7.3:1 for sedans. What are you running it in?

Nope. You don't need to worry about motor heat with the brushless, it's the speedo heat. If anything, mount a fan on the top of the speedo.

Pick up a 5VDC fan and wire it to your battery.

You could, but that's a lot of dead weight to be lugging around in the chassis.
