These early BL systems were designed to operate with NiMh packs. In addition, your motor may have a bonded, rather than sintered, rotor which is definitely not advised for racing.
These items are simply not usable in heavy 4x4 racing vehicles. The new 550 system will solve these problems.

It has been shutting off right around the 4 min mark and will not run for 1-2 min.
The thing that is throwing me for a loop is the motor temps at 100-120* and the ESC temps at 100* which seems low. I'm running the stock 13t pinion and stock spur w/ an 8.5 motor. I'm wondering if I need to gear up or use a 6.5 motor w/ the 13T pinion. The way I see it, with the motor/pinion I'm running now is like running a car in 1st gear at 50mph... Am I looking at it the correct way?
Thanks again for all the help guys. And I do have a 550 system on the way which is probably the fix.... I'm just at the curious point and would like to figure out what the problem is for future reference.
