It was like 108-110 outside so very hot but seems something more Is the cause to over heat. I would really appreciate any advice on this before it happens a second time. Since this occurrence my hotwire came in the mail and I switched its Bec voltage to 7.4 instead of 6 to accommodate servo power . (1258tg)
This buggy naturally has a high amount of driveline drag. Plus grass is a high friction surface, so your temps are naturally going to go through the roof. Suggest you go back to the 87 tooth spur....
