This is what I don't get, and why I was looking for help on that other thread started today. Are you able to run that setup for 15 mins or more of racing? I can't gear for about 36mph or higher without it thermalling in like 10 minutes. And the case and heatsink do seem to be transferring the heat well. I don't think there is excessive drag in the drivetrain which would've been a possible culprit. And to be honest, I race fine at 34 mph gearing it's just not super quick. Our track has recently switched to two 10 minute qualifiers instead of 3 five minute ones. More track time and fewer races makes the day move smoother. A-Mains are usually 15 minute unless its a trophy race when it's 30 mins. When we used to run 5 min qualifiers I could gear up and not worry about thermalling but now it's tricky to make 10 mins unless I run a 12/46 setup (on RC8 which already has 43/10 diff ratios)
