Over heating problems.
 

I run 14 cells with my EVX & Twin Titans. My truck is rather heavy, Alluminium Bulkheads, Gorilla Chassis, RPM arms. Stock wheels.

Once it starts to get hot my truck has a huge performance issue, it stutters and goes slower, is it because it is overheating?

Does the EVX have any over heating features or shut downs?

How do I keep it cool and would Brushless most likely run cooler?

Never had something like this, and my Brushed setup has seen it's fair share of "hot days".

But I run a fan on the EVX, and some clip-on heatsinks.
The fan mod is an easy way to keep the precious, yet sensitive EVX a bit cooler.

Out of intrest where do you get the fans from? Where do you plug them into? Another channel?

Fans are available from electronic shops, I just use standard cpu fans. You can even get 5 or 6V fans and plug them on to your BEC somewhere (like in an empty rx plug, if you have one)
Or use voltage-regulators or resistors and wire them to your batts. Sonds more complicated than it is.

I think it is time to replace the titans. the brushers are probably worn and this may be causing the performance troubles.

Doh, shame, they havn't lasted long. First my EVX popped and smoked on first run and this one over heats too much and Titans need replacing...

Good excuse to go Brushless then! :D

Will be a good few weeks yet though, need to get some more batteries orderd, RPM Shocktowers, CVDs and I'm sorted. Hopefully I can squeeze abit more life out of them.

If you run in dusty conditions, it's a good idea to clean the Titans now and then.

Mine are still going fine.

Yeah, go BL! No more Brush-worries!

LMK if you would like me to supply the parts you need(rpm towers, etc.).

Any pics or links on fan mods?
