Well after a run today I have settled on the 15t pinion, after 5 minutes motor was at 110f and the ESC and Batteries still at air temp.

Had a strange issue of losing mesh, thought it was a pinion coming loose ended up being the motor coming loose as the position of it doesn't allow you to tighten things that well, set my mesh then removed the mount with the motor in it and used Traxxas VXL motor mount screws with the flanged head and some blue loctite. Also noted a smaller screw holding the mount in (6mm long?) was allowing flex there so replaced that with a 10mm

Need to find a decent battery tray, any ideas?
