Ok, got some solid runs in over the last few days. Hakan, you were right, I am over geared.

The thing runs like a bat out of hell, but I am getting hotter temps than I would like. After a run of about 10 minutes, I was getting temps of 175-180F for the 8XL, 140-145F for the MM, and 130F on the batteries. Ambient temps were in the low 80's F. I've got a fan on the MM and the rc-monster heatsink on the motor.

I also noticed that the center diff needed some thicker oil, so I'll be addressing that tonight as well as changing to 16/48. should help a bit without loosing too much speed. I may have to put a fan on the motor, but I hope not.


There's two sides to every schwartz, he got the up side and I got the down side.
