Its a Reedy Sonic 17.5 with the timing all the way up, geared 31/72 currently with a hobbywing justock speed control. Since my motor is staying so cool, what would you guys recommend I try for gearing? Im running indoor only on smooth high traction tracks.

Black wheels


Yellow wheels


Wiring isn't perfect but its close enough to run. Still need to shorten the servo wire and speed control to receiver wire.
How big is the track? Do you have enough punch to clear the jumps and go around the curves.... If you do... And your temps are super low.... Ditch the fan.
