I understand what you are saying. Latest encounter was in the CRT.5 of mine. With the foam tires it runs like mad till the pack dumps. With those big Imex tires it will thermal within 5 or so minutes. You can only imagine the ampdraw. Timing is set on high and punch on 80 or so. Start power on low.

I understand that heat shortens component life, but by how much? From 3000 hours to 1500 hours or less? If I get a few years out of them, I'll be happy. By then there will be better products out.
