dont see how... but horses for courses as they say.

you can prolly turn the timing to the lowest but it wont help with the temps all too much.
and you lose power when doing that.

fellas. if you guys are running the same setup as me, i highly suggest trying a 24t/68 spur. this is the optimum gearing i believe cus i ran my truck pretty hard the last 3 times because im trying to get my stubborn steering issue solved and after 20 mins of speed runs and slow runs, highest temp was still only 158 degrees. i havent done anything to my emaxx 3905 to save wieght or anything either...other than the lipos...i believe neu energy hard case is slightly lighter than others. but im also running losi zombies tires..and those are pretty heavy.
