Problem is that it goes 170 in about 5 minutes!

I've backed off the can timing to 5, same result. initial timing was 12

Ive upped the gearing to a 30t pinion instead of the 28 i was running, and the result.

Today i switched to a different Tekin 17.5 and 30/75 combo and i shut it down at 165!

Esc stays about 95-100 all times

Also, i run ona large 1/8th scale type track, and slipper is fairly tight, bout 5 threads showing.

What is going on with all this heat? I like running the 17.5 class, but i'm only the ESC short of chaning everything, except maybe lipo?

Anybody got an idea?

Freind of mine runs same truck with tekin rs, 17.5 and 30/75 and has NO heat problems?

Any help appreciated!Thankx!
