So heres what happened today running two different 17.5's. I was able to stay somewhat competitive on tight track with no staights against mod cars.
Tried
SP V3 with 10 deg max phys timing geared 69/34...about 130f..decent
SP MMM with 20 deg timing green board 69/34 about 180f
...bit quicker
SP MMM with 11 deg...75/33 about 155f
...decent
Not sure where to gear the MMM...I experienced the same indoor on carpet running TC blinky. Way hotter than V3.

I ended up running the 17.5 MMM geared at 75/33 with temps around 115f. Had maxed physical timing at 20 deg. on endbell. Dunno what I did different, but I did reshim the motor and added a milled motor plate for better cooling.

I am looking at getting another 17.5 motor for offroad racing, mostly on a medium large (24 second laps) loose dirt track. I have two V3 motors that I have upgraded the sensor on to get 30 degrees of timing and they have worked well, high gearing with acceptable temps. Should I get another V3 or would the MMM be a better motor for this application? What timing is recommended for your selection. Thanks!

Stock Truck, Blinky. By 30 deg. board do you mean one that has an upper end of 30 deg. or an upper end of 40 deg.?

Have you checked any temperatures? If I'm following correctly that motor is a very poor choice for a relatively heavy RC like a SCTE. Virtually guarantee it's overheating. Better get a 550 size or at least a 4 pole motor.

Radiopost, open up your reciever and clean it out, there is most likely dirt in there.
