I guess I'm just going to have to hunker down and get a Neu. I've just been avoiding it because the Mamba Max is running so well.

I didn't think I was overgeared, because if I was, the esc should be at more than 115. Although the added caps did bring the temps down, I don't think that the caps would keep the esc cool in an overgeared situation. Besides, I did try gearing down, and the motor got hotter.

I only mentioned the 8XL, if it happened to be that I was undergeared. I figured that I could go with the lower turn motor and the gearing would come in line.

Well, there's that cute little Neu 1512 2Y on ebay right now.
