In view of the wear and tear, would go back to the base setup and try again, but before I do so would like to seek some setup advice.
The following is the standard setup which I used right off the bat (I don't know how to post the setup sheet):
Ride height - F26 R 26
Camber - 2 all corners
Toe - F 1out R 4in
Shock oil - F 450 R 350
Diff oil - 7/7/5
Tyres - Proline Holeshot X4 Super Soft
Motor/ESC : Tekin T8 G2/RX8 Gen 2
Pinion/Spur : 14/44
What I would like to achieve is lots of turn in off power. The track I am running is indoor with loose clay (mid traction), lots of chicanes.
Also the motor is getting hot (around 100 after 14 minute run). Should I gear down?
Any help appreciated
depending on what kv motor you are using you may be under geared. most run 1 17-19t on a 1900kv motor and you should be in the 140-155 temp range after 10 min. which is fine.
if you are looking for more turn in and are happy with the rest of your setup I would drop the front diff oil down to 5k first.
