Concerned about new Savage Flux running a bit warm on test drive

What about in regards to the ESC temps with the fan kicking on frequently? What about the sealed endbell? Is that still a good idea Patrick?

And Brian, I swear to God, if you start another anti fan rant....

The fan temp is set pretty low -- if it's not running all the time, you are fine.

Thanx!

Thank you Patrick, I appreciate it. I'll get a temp gun enroute next week. I may take a few of the endbell screws out just to help the motor breathe a little bit

So i'm assuming my sealing of the endbell isn't gonna cause issues either?

My first 2-3 MMM's in the Savage Flux which failed all seldom had the fan kick in, the last one, the fan would come on after 20-30 seconds running and not stop for the duration, that was on 4s Lipo / 5sA123 runs.

That ESC never died and I believe is still kicking.

YO! A good read.

9. My monster truck/buggy/truggy is FLYING down the street, I’m replacing parts all the time, my neighbors think I must have made a contract with the devil, and all the nitro guys HATE ME!

So what’s the problem?
