And guys, don't jump on jsr so hard about his results. He has not listed his gearing, so we have no idea what speeds he is getting to, and we have not seen the track either.

Given the fact he is only running 15min I think this is why his temps are so good. I set all of my vehicles up to provide 25min min of runtime. The first 10 mins barely gets anything warm. Plus his esc has a fan and his motor may well have a fan on it too, as it is the HW system. Plus if he uses decent batteries that will keep system temps down as well.

His recomendation is based on his usage, which is the only thing I can fault him on. If you want a truggy capable of 40mph+ and 20+ min runtimes, 3s lipo will not be the way to do it. Not easily. 4s is marginal, 5s is much better.
