A lot of the run was in 2nd gear. It still spins the wheels in second gear even from a stop. However in first it just rips the wheels loose.

I thought it might be geared to low, So I felt motor with my hand after 5 min of run in low gear, then switched to high gear and run about 5 more min and the motor felt much warmer. But this was just by touch and no timer or anything involved.

I guess I should get out the old IR temp gun and a stop watch and run some more control tests.

But just to be clear, Cold Batteries, Cold ESC means under geared?
