I just added the 1440kv 4070 tp my savage, running 16/48 and 6.65 inch tires and I am not so impressed with the temps, I thought it would run cooler but now it is more or less as hot as my leopard 4092 1730kv with no heatsink. No IR temp, only checked with fingers, and the temps outside was cool.

Am I geared too low? I mean this is a 8s motor to beginn with. It is geared for around 69 mph, do I really have to run heatsink and fans on this as well? I thought I wouldn't. I know the 1730kv leppy run hot on 6s with no heatsink and fan but I didn't expect this from a 8s motor that is lower KV and also longer.
