I have a 15t pinion ready to go on this, as well as the stock 44t spur. Is this going to create too much heat? Should I change my spur down to 14t? Or should I wait and see what happens when I drive it? Any advice on this will be appreciated.
This combination will work just fine. Unless you're running long, back to back runs on 100 degree days, your heat will be just fine. Don't sell the 2250 (which is designed for truggy) for a 1900 (which is a buggy motor with a smaller can and it will heat up). Turn your current limiter way down until you feel like you need more power then just adjust it up one increment at a time. I run a 2000 KV with 44/16 and absolutely no heat problems. Just run what you have.
