What temps are you getting? I'm right around 160*F on the motor and around 150*F on the ESC, which is WAYYY too hot for my liking. Some people think this is OK, but I don't. Batteries are at about 120*F.

I'm using a 16T pinion, but that only creates a FDR of 9.5, while the Jato (running larger tires) is running a FDR of 9.638. The Jato, which is bigger and heavier, runs forever without getting anywhere near as warm as what the CRT.5 is getting.

The temps lead me to think it's overgeared, but then I compare the Jato and I just don't see it. The only other thing I could think of is that it's not loaded enough...
