Just installed some upgrade parts.
Dace Mfg. 17mm hex:
I had a chance to ran it last Friday and Sunday when the air temp was about 57*F and 68*F respectively and wasn't pleased with the results.
Here's my gearing and temps:
ST-RR
50/15, 5S
Air temp was 57*F
ESC – 104
Motor – 131
Batteries – 100
ST-RR
50/16, 5S
Air temp was 68*F
ESC – 112
Motor – 170
Batteries – 104
I'm going to try 48/16 this weekend and see if the motor temp drops. Both were continuous 10-12 minute runs.
I went up to 16T pinion based on this:
Hot motor, cool controller, cool batteries = undergeared
