I am running the stock 43t spur gear and a 15 tooth pinion. I run a 4s Turnigy 5000 MaH battery.(50c) I run on an indoor clay track, I would say Medium in size. I have tried different pinion gears and cutting more cooling holes in the body. I have the ESC settings to default and turned all timing to 0. When I was done running 12 mins last night at practice, i couldn't even put my hand on the motor. I do not have a temp gun but when I polled the ESC data the temp was right at about 200 for the motor. I have only run this step about 5 times with all the same results. Everything was purchased brand new a month ago.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
If your getting a fair amount of wheel spin, I would suggest lowering the current limiter some. Also if your using up most of the batteries voltage during your run you will generate more heat. Less voltage creates more inefficiency and more heat as a result.
Your gearing is fine so no need to mess with that.
