Forgot to ask, I am running an old Novak Hovoc sport with a 17.5T Hovoc motor. I get about 10 minutes run time on a 4000mah pack geared around 4.35:1. With that said the motor is a bit warmer then I feel comfortable with according to my highly calibrated finger, right after the run I can keep my finger on the motor for about 5 seconds before it gets really uncomfortable. The ESC is only slightly warm. Do motor fans really help? Should I use the kit supplied mount?
The motor/ESC have thermal protection so I wonder if I am just being paranoid.....
Thanks.
your motor is not getting too hot if you can keep your finger on there five seconds. Regardless, get yourself a highly calibrated infrared temp gun and let your finger take a break lol
