On bumpy tracks I run Blue/Silver 35wt front and green 30wt rear. Great forward traction and soaks up the bumps pretty good. If the track is smoother I increase front spring rates and go 40wt front/35wt rear. I always keep the 5wt difference between front and rear for forward traction.

so one was an x-11 run 4 times in a sedan, doesn't mean it wasn't damaged before you got it....what did you gear this motor? what were the other 3 motors and their gearing? i know i gear the x-12 about 3 teeth lower than the x-11.

Ok, I've officially got a problem. I've burned up 4 13.5's in about a year in my SC10 - ya, 4. I bought all of them used, but they were far from used up - one was an LRP X11, and it was ran 4 times, in a sedan - and lasted one night of racing indoor offroad. The others were nearly as new, and they all gave up on me eventually within a mont hor two - and I only race every other week. I'm running the same gearing as everyone else - 75/25 - and then I geared down to 87/23 - still killed a motor. I'm running an LRP Sphere TC, on default settings. I do not go full throttle around the track for the 6 minutes of racing, but it's an SC - it's heavy and hard on stuff, but no one else is having these problems. I've switched ESC's, motors, gearing, tires, sensor wires and ESC settings. Nothing has helped. I run the gear diff for now and an Aoxing 5000mah 20C pack. The drive train is free, no binding.
Any ideas?

Whatever you say, good sir
After a couple post-race laps of the wind pulling the nose of the truck up in the air, ThunderbirdJunkie thought "hmmmm..." and approached said double with some decent speed and let off the throttle. Wind gusted, pulled the front end up, stabbed the throttle hard, and completed a great backflip with the truck
Tried it a couple more times, and it didn't work out so hot.
