MMM Explodes into FLAMES!

[shaunjohnson]

these type of failures MUST be caused by setups
i cant get my MMM over 150 (fan is on very briefly after stopping) under HARD load and on 6s.
but i also USE the punch control and the throttle curve so no standing backflips for me, it will wheelie if i mash the throttle but i avoid that cause the tyres cant take it (center diff)
my motoer never even hits 120 and it's geared for 45mph on 6s.

i wanted to go up to 40 series on the reace truck...but needless to say gearing down is on order, but then regen brake load is increased from the extra enertia.

and personaly i have never heard on anyone killing one of the castle/neu 2200's from overheating

kinda need a recomended setup in the boxes of traxxas and HPI since both company's are speed obsessed but in reality, unless treated nicely and you are running great lipo's then the future looks overcast...
and the standing backflip video's on HPI's forum...they cant have possibly done that geared for 70mph
