Got the new RCM battery tray from mike. This thing is PERFECT size for my batts...they fit real snug but not too tight..
I tried the 9XL with a rotor from an 8XL, and the temps were still very high on the ESC (165F with fan)
I changed back to the 8XL and here were the temps after 1 pack of running

MM: 145F
8XL: 168F
4S ZippyH Lipo: 115F

I still want to try and keep the lipo under 100 degrees, but I can't find a way to make it happen. I programmed my MM for 100% punch control and timing as low as it can go. Running a receiver pack also. You guys know how to keep the lipo temps down?
And I am really considering buying a Neu 1515 1Y-If i can find one that is in my price range.
I'm also beginning to realize that 4S may not be a very good setup for a truggy, but I don't want to go up to 5S because then it just gets way to expensive and out of my budget. I don't think I can race with 4S either because the temps of these packs under race conditions will just skyrocket, and I do not need to ruin my pair of lipos.
Also, braking, and cogging is still a big issue...I have no clue why I tried to narrow everything down as much as possible.
You guys have any insight?
