HV thermaling!!!
 

Ok i have my HV
I have 12pinion 70 spur setup as Novak suggested on theri web
but after like a 15min run it thermals
is it the hot weather here at California????
cuz i usually get 35min out of my gp3300 7cells

How hot is it?

Is the truck running like it ussaully does? My brothers started thremoing. His brakes quit working right to. Something messed up in the system.

Sounds like the best thing for you to do, is send it to Novak.

My bro got smart and bought an 8l feigao from mike. Went to the bk controller. Had alot more power.

it was like 110 outside when i was running it

you do have got the fan mounted on the esc?

yup fan on ESC

I personally would contact Novak with this issue. you have got the pinion/spur meshed right?

yeah
but i think its jus the weather here in CA
12pinion and 70spur jus as Novak suggested
when i first got the HV and ran it it wasnt hot
it was like in the 85-90s and it ran 35min or even more with the gp3300 7cells
now its freakin HOT!!!
triple digits
100-110 degrees

110 is absurd hot.. That is the main reason for your HV to thermal.. (i would thermal if i had to run around at 30 mph with those temps..) When you buy brushless, you should be living on the northpole.. (should be a disclaimer.. ;) )

Hahaha
Imagine playing tennis and basketball and running in that heat!!
I play tennis and basketball and run everyday
especially in the summer
i should get a 72spur to use espcially jus for the summer
think that stop the thermaling?

It is likely, though it might even get hotter as well.. (weird but true) try it, and you'll know.

I use stock gearing in the uk, on 12 cells without thermalling, must be just the climet, also have u cut out holes in the windscream, i found this helped with the motor temp.

windscream???

I'll go out on a limb and assume he meant 'windshield', which would mean cutting a hole in the windshield of the body for more air flow.

yeah i guess thats it ill cut my windshield l8r 2day to see

who needs a windshield anyway...

lol when i get my Crowd Pleazer 2.0 for my Maxx im nto gon cut the windshield
and its gonna have light buckets and lights!

What in the *&%#@ is a WINDSCREAM?

Must be a English terms, but yes i am referring to the 'wind shield'..

i put a hole in the windshield and ran it and it didnt thermal
but i twisted my rear shafts so i have to get CVD set soon

A little air works miracles every time..

I've been able to go with a 14 tooth pinion by using a body with out the window insert.

To help keep things cool; sometimes I use a can of compressed air to rapidly cool things down. If you turn the can upside down and the spray. The liquid gas rapidly cools that area and then evaporates. So you don't have to worry about the electronics.

Rapidly cool a hot motor for example down is a bad thing and can cause damage. If you want to cool it but still be safe, use a fan.

Sorry I should have been more clear. I don't take a motor so hot you could fry an egg on it and make it as cold as ice. Instead I constantly moniter it and spray a little here and there. I only do it on the outside. When you allow small delicate parts to go from extremes in hot and cold, things can break.

Doing this is a lot like having a heat sink.

you must know that something that might feel hot and burning on your hands is only 117 degree fahrenheit. this is a 'no sweat' temp for electronics.

i personally would not use something to cool electronics of fast. This might cause a loose contact on the print where the transistors/fetts are soldered on..
