Neu Motor Running Hot

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Well just got back from the track. With it a 3 degree the motor still got up to 170F and the ESC up to 128F, battery 95F - 110F. Im now going to set the timing to 0 and put the larger 15T pinion in instead of the 14T which will raise the top speed to 47mph. My local track is fairly large. I have some thicker centre diff fluid (10000, standard in roller 8ight is 5000) coming to. If that doesn't change the temp I might look at putting a fan behind the rc box which will flow air straight onto the motor and try to work out how to go more air flow to the motor. This is a great buggy to drive and once I work out how to get the motor to stay cool, im laughing

i ran my xt8 at the track yesterday , and i ran 4 packs, i had been running 0 timing but i changed it to 12, my temps went from 165 down to 155, but i was on a track and not wot bashing, but i think it helped.......
