And they are right , sure you CAN get the VXL system to work but if you have to gear it really low and run fans on everything to keep it all cool then whats the point ? If a fan fails (and they WILL fail I assure you) then you risk frying the motor or ESC (If it doesnt thermal first) .
well thats the good thing about the vxl it will thermal shut off thats why i never fried any of the 6 i have. and as far as the way it runs in my slash i never get above 135. the limit is 160 the 12/40 gearing i am running in the losi is more than enough tourqe and good upstairs. at least my setup
