My esc fried and took the motor with it or vice versa.. i called castle and they handled it perfectly. i installed my new mamba in the truck and went off about 10minutes into my first run it thermaled.. motor temps were 139 battery at 120 and esc at 195 by the time i had body off and temp gun ready. this is stampede. its the 7700 motor but i dont understand the issues. i even have a window cut out like a nitro car. wether the gearing is 13/90 or 17/90 the esc temps are the same. all the gearing does is seem to change motor temp. im at low start power lowest timing and no drag brake with 40% punch control. im using 7 cell ib4200wc's.

With no body on it the temps are normal

The ESC is mounted on the rear shock tower.
