Randy ,

I have a 2050 and its giving me some issues.

I first used it in a x ray 808e , and its always been warm. I ran a set up I mentioned here before and it was over 200 deg after a pack. That buggy had 4:30 diffs and a 42 spur. I ran a 18 and the rotor came apart on the 4th or 5th pack. I assumed at the time the failing rotor may have been causing my issues.

I pulled the system and sold that buggy . I bought a xb9e and put the system in that buggy with a new rotor and bearings . The drive train on the buggy is fresh , new bearings etc. The xb9 has 3.33 diffs with a 46 spur and the math led me to a 15t pinion.
Esc with the 15t came off at 3 lights , and the motor came off at 215. With a 14t 210 , and with a 13t 220ish.

LM has been set to 60% and my radio is on 90% .

Is a 16 or 17 going to cool it down ? Opinions ?

thanks .
