... can l gear it up and how much bigger pinion can you go before it wont fit or just bite the bullit and buy a 1/10 scale 4 pole motor and deal with the heat , its allways hot here in N/Queensland and thats why l did what l did to get away from the heat issue , Note the most temp we have ever recorded is 42c on motor and ESC , l would really like to leave it 1/8 scale setup if possible for this reason , just need more speed or am l kidding myself.
I think the biggest pinion that fits is a 20T, or maybe just a 21T. I found that with the big batteries it is the handling that suffers. Can you go the mid-ground to a 3S setup with a 2000-2700 KV setup?
