after running a 7xl in a variey of vehicles, and not having any overheating issues, I can only assume that most of the heat is either 1 of 2 things. Either these motors are branded as hot due to improper gearing, or poor battery choice. My 1/8 buggy ran fine, as does my terror conversion, and the slipperential revo is good too. I even have the terror geared too high, more than 45mph, and the motor does not get over 150f, body on.

The 8xl will require taller gearing for the same speed. No shocks there, just making a statement. I actually have a hacker 7xl coming for the slipper revo, we will see if the better quality motor will run cooler. I can only imagine the power, as a l can hacker seems to put out considerably more power than a l can feigao, and run cooler.
