It seems I cant run for more than about 20 minutes without it getting really hot. I geared it down a couple teeth on the pinion to try to reduce the load on the motor but it didnt really seem to help. Any suggestions? I think it should be reasonable to run it hard through a whole battery pack without worry in a truck this size. Thanks.
dude you ran the motor and the same batt for 20 mins thats crazy.
didnt know you could get 20min out of 1 bat and two run it that long strait
good luck finding some thing thats not going to be hot after 20min strait.
