im looking for either a little guidance and or some reassurance. Just got the pro4 4600 and the bh lt4 120a installed and did some speed passes down the street and toying around in the grass for about 10 mins to see where the temps were. im running 13/62 gearing
ESC hottest point i could find : 120
Motor at its hottest point : 150
Lipo : 80
Here is my question, is this acceptable/where i need to be? or should i play with the gearing some and if so which direction should i be going? Im pretty sure temps are going to change at the track but as a quick feeler this is what i got.
Also i did notice it was clicking somewhat loudly when turning and on power. Similar to what my 2wd sc10 did until shimmed the diff. Is this what is needed here also or are there other things i should check first?
Thanks!

Takes 5 min to change pinion so you can change at the track if needed but I don't think you will.

It will be the cva contacting the inside wall of the outdrive. Just take a peak at that to make sure, I needed 5 & 4 if I gave it a he-man squeeze like the pressure that it would see landing on one corner.

Yes and No LOL.
I based it off Maifield's setup with a little extra rear camber and different ballast weight since I run the Exotek. It's amazing how much better and easier it is to drive AND driver mod helped a lot too. Glad I didn't give up on this truck. Also played with Dual rate/EPA/Expo settings on the M11x, now I don't oversteer.
I can now go FULL THROTTLE on the long sweeper into the straight and it is F'N AWESOME!
Then you have to Brake HARD (so much so that the rear tires come up) and 180 into the Table Tops. So much fun!!
I had to change a lot of things from my outdoor setup but it is all good. I think this will actually help my outdoor setup now because it is setup for a medium grip/dusty surface.
Now the only thing I need is more BarCodes and more track time. Learning the right line and staying in the lane was HUGE.
