I had a 61mm extended Lst2 around 15 lbs due to 8k 6S lipo and 1527 1D motor and a 40 ser big joe tires. I had a +9 pinion with a 6S and I guess it was a bit much on the high side for the Hydra 240 to handle. After 7 min
it went up in flames. It was running real good before the mishap. It will
wheely up even though my batts are in front and I extended it also in front
to avoid wheelies. My motor and ESC stayed cool till the ESC started smoking and flames started coming out. Less gearing and I think it will be fine. I was running it with a 5S and it ran good. I guess the 1527 1D eats too much amps for the ESC to handle. Do you think the MGM 22418 will take my setup better? I know I have to gear it down when I get it back up and running.
My setup ran real cool, I checked the waterflowing with a temp gun and it drops about 40 degrees before it goes back to my water tank.
