umm it was hardly connected more then 5 min while testing forward/reverse and steering. It may not be the best motor but its what I have for it and christmas just about broke me so it will have to do.

Maybe a 12t pinion??? I could afford that....plus I have a 3s lipo that I was hoping to use as well. I will get a better suited motor for soon if the esc is giving me problems.

Good news is I found my temp gun...horay. Least now I can keep tabs on the temp now. Tonite after dark I will head to the golf course to test this bad boy. Looking forward to it.
