I rolled mine out at around 30mm and routinely pulled 4400-4600mah in an 8min heat and the esc was usually around 150 (w/o heatsink) and the motor around 110. Your rollout is in the 36mm range (with a 44mm tire) so you might be a bit on the high side.
Thanks for the reply. Please can you confirm how to work out the rollout.

I will be practicing tomorrow and if my temp are too what is the first I should change, the turbo to a lower setting or 0 turbo? or should I re gear?

What setup are you running now?

Thanks
