Well I finally got everything bolted in and running on the CRT.5
running MM5700 on maxamps 6000 2s
when bench testing I pulled WOT a couple times for like 2-3 seconds and was impressed that the tires did not balloon too much at all and all looked good.

Then I felt the esc afterwards and the esc was already warm to the touch and quite a bit warmer then the motor which was almost cold still. I mean I hardly even used it to get warm. I have heard that if the esc is warmer then the motor then it may be under geared but I dunno. I am running the stock spur and 14t pinion. The gears seem look perfectly meshed to me.

I wanted to do a firmware update but I seem to have forgotten my castle cable link. I am out of town at the moment and also forgot my temp gun somehow....shot. Now I am a little worried to get it out running till I get some more tunning in. So at the moment I am just buttoning everything up and am open to suggestions on whats causing the esc to heat up.

I will start a build thread as soon as I get some pics tonite.
I am anxious to get this on the dirt or golf course so help me out guys.
