Whats up guys? Heres my work in progress!

[Brokenparts]

Gearing has changed again! Dan is sending me a 31T pinion and I already have a 54T spur on the way. With the jumbo claw dawgs it says I should expect 50mph with 3.8v per cell. If thats too tall, Ill just stick with the stock spur gear.

Whats the general rule on motor temps? battery and esc? I have had brushless setups before but they never got hot, too hot to hold anyways.

Although not always true, a rule of thumb is:
Hot motor, cool controller, cool batteries = undergeared
Cool motor, hot controller, hot batteries = overgeared
Warm motor, warm controller, warm batteries = happy components

Hot, warm, and cool vary as well, so here's another general rule:
Hot for a motor = generally over 160F (71C)
Hot for a controller = generally over 150F (66C)(or "thermal" range for the controller)
Hot for batteries = generally over 150F (66C) for nimh, 130F (54C) for lipo
Warm for a motor = generally 100F (38C) through 150F (66C)
Warm for a controller = generally 100F (38C) through 130F (54C)
Warm for batteries = generally 100F (38C) through 130F (54C) for nimh, ambient temp through 120F (49C) for lipo
Cool for all components = generally ambient temp and up to 10 degrees F (5.6C) more
