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.
Howdy Razzor, long time....... hehe.
i have the 966E max Geared, 44t spur and 20t pinion. and still half way down the straight it is at Max RPM. 6S was way too fast for the track. so i am going to try 5S, 2 packs in parralell. will be a good compromise from speed to overall power. 4S is fast off the line, but no RPM. havent Temped batteries, but motor temp is around 70C-80C. if we could limit the low down current, then we can lessen the load of everything, and make things last.
