Temperatures are also through the roof, despite the lowest gearing, lowest punch and lowest ESC timing. A fan on the motor helps somewhat....
either pull the pinoin off or back the motor way off so that the pinion isn't meshing with the spur gear. then spin the tires. does it free wheel? if it doesn't, then you have excessive drive train drag which could be caused by a blown bearing or improper shimming of diffs.
