If you have other suggestions that can give me on gearing that will be great.
Thanks guys

it sounds to me that you are undergeared.i run my 19 turn with an 88 spur and 31 pinion with 46mm rears.this is with the KD 19 turn.if you run a checkpoint you will need to gear even higher than that.when you are undergeared the motor gets hot due to lack of load and will weaken the magnets and make the car feel flat towards the end of a race.
