BrianG, I have a quick question for you. I am running a very similar setup to your hyper 8 - except mine is RC8, Quark 125b, 1512/2D, 4S. My motor temps were really high yesterday, higher than previously. I was playing with the quark setup but not sure what is ideal. What settings do you use on your quark? What is your gearing? Even with the truggy diff ratios in the RC8 I went from 12/44 down to 11/44 and then 10/44 and saw the motor temps go down about 10 degrees each time, but it feels slightly undergeared as I'm giving up a hair to the nitros on the straightaways (though I did TQ and win the A for the first time yesterday). ESC temps seem around 145, motor got over 190 and I got a little worried. We ran 10 minute qualifiers and 15 minute main, and it was pretty hot and humid yesterday. Any input is appreciated.
