The problem is that the ESC and motor are running extremely HOT (motor is about 220 F & ESC 154 F). I'm guessing my gearing is the problem. What would you suggest I use instead? By the way, I am using a 2s lipo to power truck.

Thanks,

I wanna say ur system is too weak and will prob go out. You need another esc and motor. And 18 is high. I have a rx8 with a pro 4 4000kv and running 62/13. Maybe try lowering ur pinion gear.
