Trinity D3.5 17.5 Gearing/Timing Help
For those of you that have this motor, I run tight indoor carpet racing with one 50-75' straight away and my truck is one of the fastest, but my motor temps get up to 180-200 degrees after 5-6min races...Originally I had a 27t pinion with 78t spur and I swapped that down to a 23p and 78s still gets hot, still fast...Timing was where it was when I got the motor, at -8 then plus the built in timing...Wondering if I should put timing to 0 on the endbell, and try a smaller pinion like a 20T or what...Im happy with how fast my truck is, just need to run cooler...Im wondering if the temps are causing the fade toward the end of my races or if its because my maxamps are dropping off so fast...I run the Gen2 rspro with maxamps 6500mah dual core 150c batteries...
Any help would be great...
I run a proline pro 2.
