That is the only difference. His car would shut down after running for just a few minutes. It wasnt hot outside either, prob 80. I do not know his settings, but Im running blinky, not sure if he is or not
That gearing is fine. Just venturing a guess. Switch to blinky and switch off the motor temp cutoff built into the ESC. Most people forget that the temp is measured off the sensor board internally so it's much higher than an external temp. 150 externally might be 220 internally. That's why I disable it.
