7k in the middle. It definitely unloads on asphalt but when racing it seems to be about right.

I think oposite try to gear it down! And look then that happends with temp.
If you have smooth can, buy Novak HV heatsink you will gain some mins
I had similar problem and i thought that I am run 9XL motors and it was geared to ~40mph. Then I hooked EagleTree Logger I found that actualy this is 7XL mootor and with current gearing that I used it was geared to 57mph which it way too high.

Thanks for the thoughts. I have the 540C (finned) can.

Well right now I'm coming off at 100c and ideally I'd need to drop about 40c form that point. I haven't tried a 15t. I have the following options
16/46 (haven't tried)
16/48 (current - runs super hot)
14/46 (haven't tried)
14/48 (ran hot)
13/46 (haven't tried)
Any further suggestions? Thanks, guys.
