i ran my xt8 on 5s today with my repaired 9xl and mm, but it ran hot, the esc. got up to 250* and the motor hit 150* in about 5 min.

what i did to change things from that set-up was.......

1. changed from 14/46 to 13/48 ( geared for 35mph)

2. took off my basher tires which are heavy and about .5 in. taller and went to a set of lighter race tires which may have less traction then the badlands in grass

3. went from 30k in the center diff to 10k for more unloading

now i plan on running this tommorow and will post any changes in temps.

also my start power is low, timing lowest and punch is @ 50% , 5s has way less cogging for me then what i had at 4s for some reason

thanks for any help and here is a vid of my 5s run, still no wheelies even with 30k in the center??

VID.......
