I have the setup in my TCX with 115 spur and 40 pinion, also the motor temperature at the time the wire came lose was 71C and the ambient temp was about 25C, the battery was warm and wires slightly warm. Before anything, yep the wires are 12AWG. Any ideas??

Thanks and soz for the bad focus, only had my phone and it doesn't ever seem to get the auto focus correct.
Dude....your gearing is WAAAAY off. Gearing a 5.6 with a 3.5 will burn ANYTHING and wont be warrantied anywhere. I gear my TCX with a 5.5 at a FDR of 8.7. So i would gear that 3.5 in the 9's.

Good Luck.
