speedy · **8xl to hot under 22/54 gearing ? -** 02.06.2008, 06:39 PM

Hi !

I have a question about heat and gearing of feigao motors !

Why does my 8xl get way hotter with 22/58 gearing than 22/54 gearing ? choudent a lower gearing make it run cooler and lower the ampdraw ? My mm-esc bearly get's warm after 20min runs but the motor gets way hotter ! maybe 60-70 celsius, but it runs cool on the higher gearing! 20-40celsius

Another question: Will my e-maxx be to heavy with 2x2s 12000mah lipo's ?
by that i meen if it will break easely or feel slugish beacause of the weight of the battery's ?
