Car seems like it has a decent top speed but overall it doesnt feel like its working to its potential. I am running a 2s lipo 5200mah 60c battery, and after about 15 minutes at the track the motor is running at about 160*F. I am going to open up the transmission to make sure there isnt any teeth missing but does anyone else have any ideas? maybe have gone through the same problem and fixed it?
