I have a LRP Sphere TC comp, Team Epic 4x4 Short course 4.5t running a 15t pinion, 5000mah 40c pack, no boost, no timing advance. I was thinking I needed to drop down to a 14t or even a 13t pinion? Are you saying that I should have gone to a 16t maybe 17t? I run on a smaller indoor wet clay track. I sat out the 10 min. because I didn't want to cook my motor and wasn't sure I could make it.
Our team guy running an LRP had to go down to a 13T. I would gear down. He had a similar issue where his motor was too hot. He just continued dropping teeth until it got cool. It runs really strong now even though he is three teeth lower then Ryan and I with the Xcelroin speedo.

We have told you many times the protac wheels rub at full lock. We have always said to run losi wheels which should be readily available as long as you shop ordered some.
For the record form the pics I saw Casey Peck was running protrac wheels at he nitro challenge so they can be made to work. I don't know how much work he put into them.

I had similar issues with the MMP I tried although mine cogged always! Contact Novak. It might be a bad sensor board on the motor. I think it may be a MMP issue though as a lot of those are having problems from what I read.
