Efficiency question

[C-5Quad]

I use a temp gun being a quadriplegic I can't judge hot/cold with my fingers any more. I'll have my LHS check my drive train...when I push my truck the gears are loud in the tranny. nothing is binding but I haven't run the truck in a while. just waiting on my nano-teck 3s 5000 45/90c lipos. as the zippys were getting spoungy after a hard session. I hooked up the mmm to my pc and found my punch was turned way down to 20% and medium start power so i set it to 80% and high this should fix my problem...



Wow i'm impressed you get 45 minutes from 5000 mah pack

I never got more then 20 but I run a lot of full throttle wich is why my temps are higher and run time shorter..........if the blower doesnt help ill pop in a 1518 or gear down some...actually ill order a 16 or 15t now and just gear down as well

Yup. I've got mine geared for about 30mph and that's enough for me for now. I will go up a tooth or two on the pinion when I go to the soccer fields but for the space I have now in my apartment parking lot 30mph is enough. And yes, I do go full throttle a lot.

You might have to go to a smaller pinion on the 2200Kv motor if you plan on using it with 6S, or, like linc said, drop the 1518 in. The 2200Kv is more of a 4S - 5S motor in the E-Maxx.
