mustbnitro · **Hot Hot feigao -** 01.21.2008, 08:34 PM

Well, it was the first weekend with the brushless at the track. my Mamba was almost room temp, Lipo was <95 degrees, but my feigao was over 140F when I pulled it in after 15 minutes! i'm running a Losi 8T, True R/C 4S Lipo, Mamba Max (some tweaks), Feigao 9XL with the RCM heatsink clamp, gearing at 14/46. What can I do to keep the temps down? The truck is fast and the motor still runs, but has about .030-.060" endplay now. What can I do about the temps without investing much more and is the motor still fine with the endplay? I can swap to different gearing or should I do something else. Not wanting to go out and spend to much more cash. Thanks!
