ok with the new tekno kit on the motor was at 130 and the esc's fan was not even on and the battery was not even warm. and that was after running for 16mins straight and drving it as hard as it could be drving. (was being driving by a pro lol seriously)

my gearing was 46/17 and had amazing amounts of power on both bottom and top.

im running a 17 cause you have to remember the rc8 uses truggy diffs so it needs to be geared higher to make up for it.
