at the end of the 10 min main motor was 180-190,esc was 120-130,and the batt's were 110-120.not sure if I should go down 1 or 2 teeth on the pinion,or if it could be running hot because it may be under geared?
any insight?

Other than temps, great results on the race performance.

I think the problem with temps is in the timing. Modelmotors recommends 24 degrees of timing advance for all AXI motors. Check this link out:

I think perhaps your initial cooler temp reading was maybe for a short run? Longer runs seem to have the temp climbing into the uncomfortable zone.

You could drop a tooth or two and help temps I'm sure, but that's going to take away from your top end.

I have used this setup with no issues pack after pack. I usually run it as hard as I can all the way to the LVC.

I wonder if there are other means that can be built in to the Revo setup to promote motor cooling?
