Im running a Castle 1410 with a 13 tooth pinion and a MMP on a small backyard track. Its about 100F outside and im only getting about 5 minutes of running until the ESC shuts down from the heat. I just cleaned all the diffs and added fresh oil and it rolls smooth as butter. Is it just to hot out for the truck?
WHen you first turn on the ESC the fan should run for a few seconds, after that it will shut off and not come back on until the esc reaches a temp of 150.
What firmware version are you running on the MMP?

Bent chassis or bent shock tower(s). one of the 2. Thats how I originally noticed my stock chassis had warped.
EDIT: the good news is its pretty easy to straighten. Just put it over your knee and bend it back untill the holes line up again. I did that for a bout 3 race days until it just wouldn't hold straight any more. If it is your chassis and not the towers, I would pend the extra and get the BCE and just be done with it.

The fan does run on the ESC. I'm running stock settings on the MMP.

Settings and the firmware version are 2 different things. You should hook the ESC up to your PC and use the Castle Link software and under the software tab it will tell you which version you are running.
I would not run any other version besides 1.26.

ive been looking for the past hour and i cant find the answer which i believe has been posted before. Is there an alternative to the little tiny shims in the diff? Losi only has them if you buy the whole kit and i want more then 4 and dont wanna spend 30-40 bucks just on 12 shims lol

How do you hook the ESC to the computer?

Hi all. I just bought a couple of SCTEs. The first one, which I've run a couple of times, has a Tekin SCX4 5.5. It runs way hotter than I like. After 5 or 6 minutes its @ 165 during the day when its 95 out. I tried both 13 and 14 pinions with no luck. 1) am I alone with the Tekin 550 getting hot 2) would a Tekin T8 fit? A guy at the track runs a Jammin with a 2050 on 2S and its smooth and runs ice cold. I know the weight is an issue but I would feel better if the truck ran cooler.

someone measured the stock shim and it was in between .1 and .2 but closer to .2. i just re-built my rear diff with these using the .2's. i haven't run it yet, but it feels good.

Tekin RX8 (Using current limiting with the 550's (90-80%) can help on motor temps)

....I forget to add, I'm using a Tekin RS Pro with my SCX 5.5. Can I get away with that? I have 2 RX8s on the way to tekin so thats all I have laying around.
