That said, I'm surprised you're coming off at the temperature you're reporting, but you're the guy there. I'd wager your track is a good bit more "flowing" than our tracks tend to be, because I guarantee you'd be a fair bit hotter if you ran on our track.

I run closer to a 44mm roll-out and get temps about 30-40 degrees hotter than what you're experiencing.

i am sure track size and how flowing it is has alot to do with it.in 19 turn on a pretty flowing track i run a 49.5mm rollout and am hard to beat.i see exactly why you run the gearing you do with a small track.i had to drop to 46 mm for a large carpet track and even lower for a tighter one.gearing is fun huh.
