My brushless HPI Nitro MT Project

The motor temps are fine IMO as long as you don't exceed 170. Same goes for the esc.

Thanks for the info Cart.

Speedy, I'm just afraid of 170 because that's where my Novak 5800 died (178 it hit I believe). I know technically the ESC is fine unless it's thermalling, I just don't like it that hot. Like I said, maybe I'll try other gearing but most likely I'll get the fans just to keep it in check when it's this hot out.

I don't know if the fact that there is no slipper/diff in the middle has anything to do with it? Maybe it's putting a lot of strain on the motor when the power has no place to go?
