Thirdgen89GTA · **Losi Mini 8ight temps? Box stock. -** 01.29.2012, 01:20 AM

Anyone have temps from their own m8ight? Running at the track I ran through the included 1100mah pack and the motor temp was about 170* after a run, battery was about 110* and the ESC was about the same as the batt.

I put 4 cooling holes into the body, one in the windshield, 2 on the fake "vents" next to the cockpit, and one exit vent just above the on/off switch.

Didn't seem to make much difference for the motor or ESC. Just curious what temps people are seeing. I'm wondering if I should gear it up. 16th is the factory stock pinion.

Style of driving, the temps were recorded on a roughly 60x40ft track. With one 60ft straight, but the rest of it was part throttle except for stabbing the throttle to clear the double.
