Alrighty, just got done playing with my car before lunch. Got roughly 17 minutes or so of run time. Battery is hot as hell though. lol. And I may definitely need a heat sink for the motor as well, but thats for another thread.

Would over-heating be my problem here or no? I dont really have a way of checking the exact temperature, just feeling how hot it is in my hand. Its gotten really hot, but not so hot that I cant hold it.

If the short run times Im getting with this 3600mah battery are getting it this hot this quick, I dont want to imagine how hot the 5000mah batteries I'll have soon will get over their longer run period. Ick.
