And remember, internal temperatures of the esc can be higher than what you read on the case where the fan is blowing.
I was a little surprised after I saw how far off the cells were but it is my cheapest battery.

I will be gearing down, but want to use 3s and a lower turn motor so I wont have to watch the temps, unless I am trying something different. I need to use those two motors because its what I have at the moment. When I receive my 3000kv motor will this speed control (r series) have any problems running it? In any event im pretty new to the hobby, so I am experimenting, but not trying to cause anymore serious electrical issues.
