The Losi only has two belts. Many things can effect the motor temp when running the recommended FDR, track size, driving style, speedo setup, etc.

When you guys are quoting temp figures for motors you have just ran. Are these with or without the use of an 'in-car' fan?

Mine is with no fan, heatsink. May have to get something soon.

I'm gearing my E4JS by temp. If its too hot, I drop the pinion down a couple teeth. Run and check temps again until I hit the acceptable range. I've found so far I run pretty much the same lap times in TA trim with my SS21.5 from 4.2 up to 4.6 FDR. At 4.6 my motor is finally coming off around 145* or so. At 4.2 it was 175*. I'm going to try 4.8 for giggles. I would imagine that as long as I'm not hitting the RPM limit on the motor, I should see no decrease in lap times. I should also see more punch out of the corners. I haven't proven that to myself, but it sure sounds good.

hey guys just got back from a two day race here in tucson az the southwest indoor grand prix. I purchased the original e4 and this was the first time seeing the carpet, been runnin on asphalt. all i can saw was the car was dialed. i started with one of marcos j setup and went from there. the track was a pretty technical track and the car transitioned really well. i also switched from the tc5, but out of the box with minor adjustments the e4 was bomb.
At the end of the weekend i ended up tq plus a win in stock rubber tire. The drive train is pretty tight but i dont think it hurt the performance at all. only negative thing was i broke a rear cvd? didnt hit anything just going down the backstraight and then the next turn it didnt have any rip? i didnt have that as a spare so i used a xray dogbone. If anyone wants the setup shoot me a pm.
Thanks again wolf for supporting a good car and having good customer suopport

Does anyone use the Kfactory sidemount fan for cooling and does it do an efficient job???
Also what set of springs should I get??? There are three sets, or are they all different. I will primarily be running asphalt,rubber tires. Thanks!!!

The car handles nice at the Track and I was turning consistant 13 second laps with my 13.5 set-up. Do you have the Tekin Hotwire? I think the new software 1.89 is out and you can download it. Set it on sensored only and raise the boost up to 80 to start. I think you'll like the response. If you don't have a hotwire then try to go there when Dave Arnold is there on Saturday.

No Wolf does not sponsor me and unfortunately I won’t be at the birds this year.
