-Clutch-116
-Motor-166
-ESC-118
-Battery-121
Outside temps-the high was mid 70's but in the sun it felt like mid 80's.
I was running the RCM xl heatsink on the motor and a novak 25mm fan on the MM. Also, I started the day running 15/38 stuck in second because I stripped my 36 spur the previous night and 18/36 is just barely too tight to run (17/36 should be fine, as well as 18/34-haven't verified this though) but I wasn't fast enough on the straight and did not have enough pickup to clear all the doubles. I was able to get a 36 spur at the track so I threw that on and also went back to the 18 clutch for the second qualifier, bingo! I was now clearing all the jumps with ease and zooming down the straight. Also of note is that my temps stayed pretty consistent with the gearing change. In fact, the only change in temps (more the 10 degrees) was the battery after the main (due to the longer run time). The battery was around 101-110 during the 5 min quals.
I think I covered everything, so here's a few pics, also, a link to the tracks site.
