starting up 8th scale onroad , and using the Hobbywing combos. one at 2000KV and one at 2250KV . mine (2250KV) is eating batteries. like puffing them up big time on 4S. 2 x 2S in series. we need Turbo for starters, and we need current limiting functions. as these motors are designed for off road, they have too much torque for onroad, and not enough RPM. so if one can help with software, or one can take magnets out from motors, maybe make a 2 magnet, or 3. 4 is way too much. any help is apreciated. if this class starts, we need to make it affordable, and not a battery eating monster.
here is a vid of my car in P1.

patto what temps are you getting on the motors and batteries ?
swollen batts i have experienced in the past in 1/10 mod was always when i was undergeared. A few friends experienced the same when being too conservative on gearing. might not apply to you with the 1/8 onroad but is possible.
