I still don't feel safe with my motor being too hot to touch. I measured the temps with my infared temp gauge and they were usually about 60C average, 50C low, 70C Max (140F average, 122F low, 158 High). I see everone with these heating issues with their ESC's, but mine just barely gets warm, just a tiny bit warmer than room temp. I'm used to brushed motors with the rule: If you can't hold your finger on the motor for five seconds, it is too hot and probably overgeared or binding. I can barely touch my 9L after a run, let alone hold my finger on it. I am running: 9L/9920; 16/72; Stock parts: Maxx sized wheels/tires; diffs; tranny. I've made sure it is free of binding and rolls smoothly, but it still heats up like that. I've got it in peices doing my "Spring Cleaning" after a recent high speed encounter with a tree. I'm going to be making an order and would like to know if I should get an 18t pinion to try, or just stay with this, maybe switch to my 66t spur. In the stickied thread, it said:Hot motor, cool esc = under geared, so I might want to try a new pinion. Man I'm long winded.

Thanx,
Brijar!!!
