Thanks. I just picked up a 21.5 Helix rs V1 on sale and haven’t been too impressed so far. It’s replacing a heavily used x-factor that got over 200 degrees at least a few times when the cooling fan went out while racing on hot astroturf in the sun. The helix is pulling about 4.5 amps on the sky RC motor analyzer and still coming off at ~145 degrees after 5 minutes on clay in the winter when ambient temps are pretty cool (60-70) with a cooling fan. I’d like to gear up or increase timing but I’m worried I’ll get too hot.
