Hi all

I'm running a SP v3 11.5T motor (5 degree timing) and a GT2.0 LPF ESC (528 firmware), and I'm also using 6.6v LiFe batteries

Would anyone have a suggestion as to what might be a good settings (ESC as well as FDR) for such a combination of hardware? The last time I ran the car, I had a FDR of 6.5, maxed out SC boost and AMTS, and SC punch at -1 or -2. The motor temped at over 90C after a couple minutes of hard running (too hot!).

In particular, should I gear close to a FDR of 7, or, given my choice of lower voltage batteries, should I instead be gearing nearly to a FDR of 6? I need to get my motor temps down without sacrificing too much speed/punch.

I find plenty of suggested settings for 13.5T and 17.5T motors, but info on proper settings for 11.5T seems rather scarce... Any views will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
