If i put the EPA at 100, the truck is almost uncontrollable fast on the track.. lol.. the only temp issues i am having is the motor temp.. i am going to see what the factory settings are on the ESC.. i got the ESC used.. double check that.. i used it in my 1/10 4wd buggy with no motor temperature issues..
maybe that could be the issue..

You need to get the 13mm option rotor. I ran a SC4x 4.5 with that rotor and a 16T pinion this weekend and I was getting temps in the 145 range.
ok, first weekend with the truck.. coming from the AE.. and its so nice.. lol.. only problem..
i am having motor temp issues.. big time.. here is what i have..
Tekin SC4x 4.5. Ko Propo BMC speedo.
the front page says 13-16 pinion. i had a 15 on there.. and its crazy fast.. and temps were in the 200 range after 5 min heat with the end point turned down to like 65.. i went to a 13t pinion, and it was in the 180 range after 5 mins. still had the End point turned down.. it was at 75. put on a 12t.. and the temps stayed the same. 175-180 after 5 mins.. the 10min main, came off in the 190's.
Is there something i need to look at? maybe in the speedo? would thicker gage wire help with temps? i think i got 13ga wire right now. i see most people are at 12ga.
Speedo temps were down, but i also have the fan and heat sink on it.
i will look for a motor heat sink.
any ideas?
other than that.. the truck was great to drive.

i just went by what everyone said.. 13-16t pinion for the 4.5 motor.. and i ended up at 12t.. and still had to turn it down.. cuz it was so fast..
The ESC is a KO Propo BMC 1.5.

Also check your bearings, a binding can cause heat. If some of them are not rolling smoothly, then clean or replace them.

Nope.. My name is Brad Raper
keep with the 12t and play with the esc settings. I'm running a Trinity 4.5 monster hp 550 on a RX8 speedo. I made some esc changes with power delivery and it helped a ton on temps. I generally temp in the 150 range after a 6 min run. There shouldn't be too much difference between the two motors

BTW.. here is my truck.. had my buddy Mike Pryor paint it.. i wanted a simple paint scheme.. make it look similar to the factory race trucks.. got the stickers from the local motorcycle shop.. looks good in the sun..
11-14-2011, 12:12 PM
Love it. I much prefer the looks of factory race trucks over the frou frou paint schemes (flames, tribal, etc.) that a lot of guys have.

Pretty much every picture I've seen on here with the aluminum arm except Casper's are using the outside hole, good catch 
This may be why you're temping a little hot. Try Ty Campbell's setup sheet from the Tekin Hotwire page. Make sure you set your current limiter to 80% and 0 drag brake, timing advance no higher than 10 deg. You should be temping in the 160 range with that pinion on that motor with those settings.

The only setup I see for Ty Campbell is for a 2WD short course truck.....with a 10.5T motor.....is that the profile you wanted me to take a look at?
I still have the stock grease that came in the truck..........someone mentioned that might be causing the heat issues as well. Guess I will put some diff fluid in them.
