Those are just some of the things I could think to check that could contribute to your motor getting that hot so quickly.

Yeah...my first guess would be to check the drivetrain and make sure there isn't any binding. Pinion mesh could be off too.

I re-checked the drive train today for any binding,but all looks and feels well .As far as pinion mesh.I set it with a piece of paper between the two gears and loc tited it down,and it's really holding the mesh well.I'll re-examin all those things just to make sure though. Pulled up the castle link again and went thru it to make sure all was well there too.Gears from Mike should be comming soon.With temps down in the 160 range I won't be so afraid to test it for a longer period now.Building these up has been made pretty easy with all the niceity's being sold now from savvy companys like Castle and RC Monster....it's the tuning part that takes some skill to bring it together and really enjoy it all,and a gratefull appreciation for those with so much knowledge and experience. (oh yeah...and lots of cash !)
