man i wished i would have read this thread sooner so i could tell you about my setup. in my yusa w/2speed running a mega 22/45/2 i would only see 115 on my esc running 8s1p a123's. with everything the same but on 12s1p a123's, the hottest i've metered was 135 i think. may have been 133. this is using the turnigy 100amp hv controller and geared for 109mph. i'm not sure what its going because i just haven't had the opertunity to test everything out, but there looks to be room to gear up a bit more. the power i'm putting down is just simply too much with the 12cells. on my street infront of my house i have to ease into it very slowly to keep traction and simply run out of room by the time i'm at 1/4. i'm thinking you really need a larger motor to continue with this project. if my thinking is right you'll pull less amps from the larger motor simply because it doesn't have to work as hard. what are your motor's temps and after how long of running?
