How are temps?

And I've kept that mindset so far - hence why I'm asking if what I'm sensing so far is "typical" difference between truggies and MT's.
Temps were very cool - but ambient temp was about 60 and I only ran it for about 5 minutes or so. I suspect I can gear for higher speed and not have an issue.

I agree that it would likely be faster on the track - but I'm like Brian - I've never set foot on a track so far (dont even have one within 30 miles of me - seems everyone in Seattle is a carpet racer), and just trying to wrap my brain around the nuances of these center diff systems.
I do like to have the ability to run on the edge if/when I want. I dont like wheelies so much - which I why I wanted to try a truggy, and to get a feel for thier durability compared to my MT's.
I'll stop and pick up some heavier oils to try, and double check my MMM settings. After reading through the link someone posted about diff set ups, if I run up to 100+ on the center, what I have in the front/rear doesn't really matter (within reason) except for tuning the cornering, right?
I also have an RCM mount for it. However with the layout of the Tekno chassis, it looks as though I would need to mount it "backwards" to keep the motor in the right rear corner. The motor fastener heads wouldn't be in the slots in the mount, but other than that, anyone know if having the mount backwards would cause any issues? The only reason I'd throw it in is to give myself the ability to drop down in pinion size (better acceleration, right??)
