It was about 60 degrees at an indoor track. I am surprised to see it hit those temps. My esc has A64 on profile 1. Brake strength 90%, brake pwm 16000. Throttle pwm 12000, punch 80%. Forward power 90%. Motor temp cut off 210 degrees. Also, using SMC 70c 6500mah 4s batteries. 16t pinion 44t spur. My drivetrain spins freely. Anyone have any suggestions as to why this motor is getting hot?
Way under geared. Start going up a tooth until you get to the point where the temp starts climbing again.
