The batt temp is low. I don't consider 160 degrees really THAT hot, throw on a fan it'll be fine. Once I get my center some thicker oil so I can get some traction I'll play around with the gearing. I highly doubt the clutch is slipping considering it's new, backwards, and has no spring.

pixtix?

You only would run past 40k rpm if your wide open, which is rare. Honestly if I break a $60 motor that just gives me a good excuse to get a Neu!

That ESC runs cool which I like, it has probably the worst programming/instructions I have ever seen. I tried to get one of those programming cards when I ordered it but it was out of stock. The cut-off low/medium/high refers to cut off being 2.6v/2.85v/3.1v times the amount of cells you have which it calculates for you. Default is medium which is 17.1v which is a little low for the recommended manufacturer cut-off of 3v (18v) per cell. Regardless you can tell when the lipo is dying. As soon as I notice this I quit. After a full run I'll throw about 4500mah back into the pack with about 20v before charge.
