Ran my mbx-5 buggy today:

Set up:
1. 9xl, geared 44/16
2. MGM esc
3. Badland buggy tires
4. EXTREMELY soft sand

Temps after 15min of hard running:

1. 9xl 170 ( I know this runs hot )
2. MGM 145
3. Batt. 125

I would like to go down to a 15 pinion, for more low punch, but, w/the motor running so hot , I don't know if I dare....

opinions please...

All in all, good/bad? Where I run is a small, tight track w/ very soft sand. So i am figuring that the soft sand is causing some of the motor temps. to be a bit higher.

My 1512 1YF is being repaired and should also run a lot cooler than the 9XL.
