Which I wasnt pleased about.. and I only had a 16t pinion in it.. It was a big outdoor track and it was only about 60 degrees outside.. I might try to go down a tooth on the pinion but it felt great just like it is and everyone else i know runs 16t with 1900kv in the mugen so i dont know.. I guess i will just have to figure something out because when it gets 90-100 degrees out this motor is not going to last lol One good thing is my esc didnt get even warm. Also i had a tekin 1900kv in my brothers 8ight 2.0 e buggy and his motor only got up to about 120 degrees and he has a 15t pinion so i might just switch pinions and see how it goes.. This motor is GREAT and ran just as good as the tekin besides the heat problems.. So thats how my test went.
I think your motor is hot because you are undergeared. Gear it up so it doesnt have to rev so much. Hot motor/ cold esc = gear up. Cold motor/hot esc = gear down. Had the same problem with a silvercan 7.5t. Have to gear it much higher than say a Novak 7.5t, but boy does it fly.
