I'd like to clear one thing up, I did not lower the EPA it's 100%. But I'll admit it's my fault. The gearing and that stupid filter idea have killed it. But HPI need to have more and better info in the manual. Because if the manual is right, I've geared down 5 teeth(20%) running the stock 20t pinion over the recommended 25t. There's no way the motor or esc got over 135* on the first two runs I was checking it. Yes I have a temp gauge. Thanks Freeze for the link. There's a few arseholes at the MRC forum isn't there.
Well at least he can admit he is the fault (and the HPI manual). Calling us names doesn't do him any good though, we weren't the ones that told him to fry his ESC but rather explained why he cooked it. There's a reason I tell everyone to check their temps all the time when trying unknown gearing combos and that's because you could fry something if you push it too hard.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
