I'm running 5.5 FDR on a silvercan and it get's piping hot after a 10 min run even with a fan (a crappy novak fan, mind you).

To those who arent as ghetto as me:

I'm running lipo in my car but use an old esc without lipo cutoff. I'm always save and run max 10 mins at a time. But for those who race with silver cans: how much capacity do you top up after a 5min race? Just so I have a better idea of expected run time.

I'm running a 4000mah lipo and my car is far from "geared to the moon".

My charger is also ghetto and doesnt tell me how much I've topped up after a race
