Sc10 4x4 tekin pro4 high temps
Like in the title I have an sc10 4x4 with a tekin rx8 and a pro4 4000kv motor. I ran it a pack or two during practice and a total of 4 qualifiers and 2 mains on a small high traction indoor track and was getting temps in the mid 160's. I was running a 14 pinion and a 62 spur. I went to a new track outdoor high bite large, but technical after about 10 mins the motor was too hot to touch. I dropped the pinion to a 12 but the motor was still very hot. The next day I went to my local track which is a medium sized 1/8 scale track, hard packed clay with lots of dust and low traction. My temps after 10 mins were getting really high almost 180.
The truck rolls freely with no noticeable binding, the belt is not too tight and in fact appears to be slightly loose. I'm running the overdrive pully on the front and the clicker is locked. On the esc I'm running the minimum timing, with current limit at 80, no boost, no drag, no push.
I'm not sure why I'm having temp issues most of what I've read I've seen people running a 15 pinion with no problems. The lhs said the truck is too heavy and I should be using a 550, but I know people are running this in the heavier losi, plus this was specifically designed for 4x4 short course.
Any ideas, I'm really frustrated.
