Gearing properly is the key to keeping a BL motor in a good temperature range. An 8L that runs hot on a certain gearing can be replaced by a 9L (same gearing/cell count), and the 9L will be 40 deg. cooler or more! This is what I encountered with my 1/8 buggy. So, there really is a "sweet spot" for gearing to obtain the optimum BL motor efficiency.
