Brushless e-maxx - new setup questions

[ozdave]

ok great, so it sounds like i I can work this out up to a point but really need a bit of trial an error with my particular setup inorder to get what im after?

Am i correct in thinking that current draw is what drives up the temp of the ESC? and that at higher revs created by more cells means more current? are there any guidelines that can help me determine ESC temp beforehand?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, given the same motor. If you increase the turns of the motor so that RPM is the same even with more voltage, current is actually reduced. But if you increase voltage on the same exact motor, current will rise.

Generally 160 is the max, some people prefer less. I prefer to be able to touch the motor or ESC for any duration I please, which means that its running no more than 125*
