Well come to think of it, I did get a ton of wheel spin, everyone told me under 160 was safe, and I figured 184 was way too much, or Id ruin the magnets inside the motor (this is just word of mouth, asides Nikola Tesla's original design I have no idea how electric motors work other than heat is bad for them) It was like a skating rink out there, I was getting squirrely if I got on it too much.
THere was a straight line where I would smash just about everyone, I think even the nitros couldn't keep up with me for shat down the straight due to the insane torque I was getting, it was almost unfair, but they would smash me in the turns where it really counts.
Ok so 184 is fine? Ill try it again tomorrow, actually I have a 16t pinion in reserve I was hoping to go to that if people on this forum thought it might be ok for me, Ill hook it up to the hotwire before I run it tomorrow and turn the timing down all the way cuz torque is not an issue and these high discharge batteries compared to when I first bought it, when i first bought it, 25-35c was norm for a 4s 5000mah lipo, but Im figuring with the higher discharge of the newer batteries of course things are going to get much hotter.
I just wanted to check here because the motor has been VERY good to me, its the one thing on the car that never breaks and I want to make sure that Im treating it well in return. Like I said, I really dont know all that much about electronics, Im more a 1/1 scale drag racer at heart, had a 330whp MR2 Turbo that ran 11's, so I don't really understand this new hobby I have gotten into and appreciate the n00b friendliness of this forum.
edit: need to respond to previous post.
Dirtburners track ( dont know how that compares in size but lets just say large) 15-20 minutes straight run time, Losi 8ight 2.0 converted to E.
