sorry about the multiple posts for the quotes. i was lazy and didn't know of an easier way.
thanks for all the help.
i'm glad to hear from some of you that temps didn't change when regearing or chaning tires. i started out with moabs and took them off because of the heat. looking back, temps were no worse.

this hobby just seemed so expensive at the time i bought the brushless system, i didn't want to burn it up. i got the new e-maxx in january, spent 3 months making it stronger then went brushless after my third evx-2 died and took a lipo with it. it's been a while since i spent some money on this. i guess i may just be up to running it until lvc cuts.

i think i'll still change the motor bearings though. anyone know the size and if i should go ceramic for these?
