Thanks for the info, I bought a used 1/10 scale system off a guy here on the for sale section and he said the system was perfect,, well after running the motor after 4 laps at my local track, the motor started to make grinding noises and I took it back to my pit and COULD'NT even put my finger on the motor,,it was that hot!!!!! I actually bought his whole SC10 truck with the system in it, truck is great but I think the motor was bad,, he had it geared at 87/23,,, is this a good combo or a bad combo for this motor????? By the way I called him as soon as I got home and his reply,"call castle creations",, nice guy!

Welcome to the world of used rcs! Nice character, but buying used is a crap shoot at best, sometimes everything turns out great, sometimes they don't. Perfect for maybe 1 lap.....
I don't have an SC10, buit do have a Slash and based on my experience with a Castle Sidewinder/5700 yours sounds overgeared. I ran mine on stock gearing like 18/86 and it ran hot, but tolerable temps. I'd try smaller pinion if it still works and if motor is indeed shot, call Castle, they have a flat rate repair on the motor for $45, just the time to get it in/out of their system.
