Default Tekin RS overheating problem!

I have this problem and everyone I have talked to who dose or has owned a Tekin Esc has had the problem of it running hot.
I was running last night at about 185 after 7 minuets motor is geared correctly it was hardly reaching 120 how can I bring the temps down?

I was told that there were some settings to somehow limit the current therefore helping the temps also would adding a second capacitor help bring the temps down a bit?

Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure Tekin will suggest an RS Pro for 4WD with a low turn motor. This has been posted before with high temps on the RS with the type of vehicle/motor combo you're running.

You need a pro. Technically the standard RS can handle up to 5.5 but that's really pushing it so temps will be higher. A Pro should take it much easier.
