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.
lrp's seem to run hot naturally. i would say go to 12 but i bet it wont help. what speedo? any timing? as someone else mentioned my wheel hexes where rubbing the bearings. causing drag. also make sure you temp your slipper when your done! if its ridiculously hot then your slipping so much your motor is not happy.
