Anybody have one of the 8th scale ESC?? we are converting an 8th scale onroad to electric, and now our on our 3rd speedo. the first two have smoled after a couple minutes. "ESC temp went to like 140 plus and started to smoke. we rare unning the 5.5 T with 14.4v volts. finally got the last one to run for a bit but the caps on the side are still getting to 140 pkus. all other parts of the speedo are cool like 100 ,and the motor is only 110 120. the gearing is close and the car rools freely. just not sure the SP ESC is up to the advertised 14.4v with thier 4.5t motor.


we are at the lowest punch. the ESC timing all the way down to setting 2, no drag brake

the thing is insance and easily as fast as an 8th scale nitro.

Thanks.
