Neu Motor Running Hot

[Pedebeater]

Yes, but what will he do when the weather starts getting warmer? He said it was winter. I would have to agree and say you should gear down, and if that doesn't make it better than gear up a bit. But I agree, I would never run a neu motor if its getting that hot all the time, to much money to risk.

Check your timming setting on your ESC.

On a "d" wound motor, your timming should not be higher than 10 degre. 0-5 is the best. Higher and it'll heat up.
On a "y" wound motor, you could go over 10 degre

Recommended by Neu (from another forum I believe), as I have heard this as well. Also the instruction sheet that comes with the Neu motors (you do read the instructions right?) says low timing.

I didn't get no instructions with my motor.

Me neither.

If the value "10" on the motor timming case is the value giving in degree, i find it little high for a "d" motor. Try to put it at 0, or if you have the option "automatic timming" as on the MGM controller, put it on automatic.
