What should I do gearing wise to get the temps down? try 60 or 58 with a 12? I know there are the gearing charts but those arent helping any right now. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
IMO it sounds like you're undergeared. Try going up a tooth or two at least and temp it after a couple minutes. Undergearing brushless motors is just as bad as overgearing them.
