under or over geared?

No your right its 46!

If I'm running 16/46 in my Pro I get about 170-180 F on the motor but my brother gets up to 200F in his RTR. Esc and lipos are not getting hot at all.

We will experiment with 13 pinions this weekend to see how much of a difference that makes, but still "over geared -> cool motor" doesn't fit very well for us. I really don't think that his rtr with 16/46 is under geared? Do you?
