I'm running a 16t pinion, on the calculator has an adjusted speed of 75mph. Unfortunately this is the only BL motor i have, im going to bring the laptop out with me today hopefully (if the weather stays good) and tweak some things and see how that affects the performance.
For the timing setting, i've just got it on auto. Im not to sure what the 10*, 20* etc. would do so i just left it for the first run. What timing do you guys normally run? There is an option for race mode, but that means you cannot use the LVC feature, so i didnt want to risk my lipos. I'll check the timing and frequency and things like that today.
I was thinkning last night, cool motor and hot ESC = overgeared right? But if it is normal motor and hot ESC, does that mean the problem lies somewhere else? Im going to solder the ESC and motor together today to get rid of some dodgy connections i have there and see how that goes.
cheers for the help guys, i'll keep you posted on the testing.

That is definatley not the right gearing to be running on grass and you definetaly 100% sure overloaded the ESC. That type of gearing is supposed to be used for speed runs on asphalt. Change your gearing. I use a 17T pinion in my BPP mainly because it has a huge 65T spur and I'm geared for 34mph, but with tire ballooning it went 46mph radar confirmed. This is why I asked you if you had any plans on making a single motor mount so you could adjust to make a smaller pinion fit.
