The nitro stadium truck you have is specifically designed to handle the power of nitro engines. The drivetrain is thus heavy and sturdy and your 5400 motor was wrongfully chosen for the conversion- its for electric rigs meant to go head to head with their nitro counter parts. You need a much lower KV of a highend motor.
I have to seriously disagree...First off, its 5700, not 5400, and second, I don't think the truck has anything to do with how "efficient" the controller runs. Yes, a motor with segmented magnets will be a better motor, but at the least, correct gearing should help him some. It sounds as though it might be under geared since if it was over geared the controler wouldn't be hot...
