I'd like to get my chassis motor mount holes slotted this today.

hey kaz,
good to hear from ya. you should go back and read through the posts. there are a few things i have posted you may want to know. like running the 12t pinion really put stress on the motor shaft because of how long it is. and the 15t pinion just performed so much better in every way. i would recommend cutting the 12t pinion in half if you are going to run it. maybe run it first and see how it goes but when i used it there was evidence of stress on the motor shaft. also, here is a vid of mine if you didnt already see it:

also, not sure if you saw my post on this but saturday i ran my rig very hard and although the motor temps had always been below 115* they got up to 170* that day. it isnt often that i run my trucks as hard as i did that day but i am trying to figure out what i can do to get my temps down. every other time i ran temps were very low. but maybe you could provide some input as to what you think i could do. i dont want to just strap on a bigger fan, although i will, but i would rather find the cause. eg gearing, weight, motor kv, amps, etc?? do you think i am geared too high? too low? any input would help.
