Ok I cannot get the temps down. I set both esc/motor to 230 as recommended on here and the motor still thermals on the 17 pinion after 9-10 min. Tried a 15 and it lasted 12 min. Tried a 19 and it lasted 8. There is no way I should be geared lower then 15/78, hell I dont even think I can get the gears to mesh. The buggy is stupid fast. At 19/78 I had to turn my travel to 75 of 150 on my spectrum dx3r pro. On 15/78 it ran 85 percent.

At this point im a little puzzled as many others run the same buggies. One guy has a 5.5 and runs the 17/78 combo. Another guys has a 10.5 and runs 19/78, both of them could go the whole battery pack, while I will be lucky to get through the 8 min A main? Do I really need to go to a 13 tooth and try to make it mesh or does the 6.5 combo not work as well as advertised?
