what are you running for batteries? Thats not to far off from my original gearing of 70/18. 70/18 works out to 3.89:1 ration and yours works out to 3.86:1, my motor and esc where barely even getting warm, prolly about 110-120 degrees, just enough to say they where warm. I'm not positive about the temp but thats a close est. I know hot water out of the sink in a restaurant is aprox 165, novak suggests no more than 160, and mine isn't even coming close to as hot as the water! As I said in my last post my LHS hasn't had any luck with this system running LiPo's. I wish I had consulted them before buying this setup but I did it on a whim 1 night and bought everything to build this off ebay without doing enough research on what to run for motor/esc. I thought that if Novak was good enough for Traxxas they'd b good enough for me. Now I found out Traxxas has ditched Novak and they're building their own esc for the new water-proof E-maxx because Novak won't stand behind they're product. If I melt mine down I'll prolly wait for the MMM that's supposed to be released in March.
