I have been running 17/46 and the speed is pretty potent. I have the 18 and 20 pinions and would like to try them.

My esc temps have been around 140*, but I was using the MM BEC with 3S so that could explain. Just got the CC-BEC so waiting to get a chance to run it again to see temp are better.

Peak power has been 722 watts at a peak current of 72Amps.

Also, how are those tires doing. How is the ballooning at top speeds? I have the Dirt Hawgs and they balloon pretty bad at speed, I'd really like to find something that can handle the speed better.

I havent really run it yet. I just finished it on Monday so hopefully this weekend it will get a good test run. I'm pretty sure it shoud be OK on temps. I was running my Lightning Staduim 10 on this motor w/ a MM and 4s a123 for a while and temps were fine. I was using a UBEC on the MM and have a UBEC set up on the crt.5 too.

I also run these tires on the LS10 and they actually handle pretty well so I bought a set for the crt.5 too. Balooning isnt to bad, Traxxas sells these for use i=on the VXL Bandit which can run 70mph, so 45 should be no big deal for them. I'll let you know how it runs after I get it out and give it a workout.

How does your Hacker 8L do on temps?
