Kit ran well and was plenty quick... however, after running the car for about 5mins, the ESC was hot to the touch (no heatsink and fan due to the low bodyshell). The motor was warm but i could hold my finger on it without getting burned....
just want to know if i'm over geared or under geared? or is it normal to have the esc run very hot (wasn't able to temp it though).
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
My 12R5 has a MurfDogg 4t with a Tekin RS (not RS Pro) at 42 roll in Dual Mode.
Endbell at zero deg.
Motor and esc after 8mins never over 100f
Tekin internal temp light at 1st mark.
It is very smooth and has tons of rip.
This is on Hi-Bite carpet 90x45 track.
