Haha, ya, good idea. Should take into account surrounding temp, y'know Newton's laws and all that.
Ambient air temp here is about 15degC (warm winter day!) and the track surface is about 20degC. I usually let to motor get to about 60-65degC before I start worrying; batteries usually about 45-55degC.
Around about 60degC is the touch=pain level...
(Couple o' years ago, I "invested" in a IR temp gun for nitro, but its real handy for electric too!!
)
Yeah...some other company...I can't remember the name of it but I heard it got burnt down earlier this year and I happen to have the spur gear holder for the F201, too. I tried to fit that with my TB EVO II but the hub is too long and need to be trim down to where the pin rests.
Must be "Cross" then!!
Yes, very "suspicious" fire in Japan factory/warehouse, so I hear.
