The annoying thing was that my 2.1 prostock esc gave up when the motor did and I never got to start the mains. Not all that happy with that and 3 other guys smoked their 1 cell motors at the same event. My mate even smoked 2! There are questions on our local rc forums from guys questioning whether the 1 cell motors are capable of handling the boost in tc racing. It may be just down to gearing or what ever but I tried all weekend to get the temps down and couldn't get the motor under 90 deg C. Any help would be much appreciated as I have another event in 2 weeks time and am keen to get a good finish this time.
