Mmms. Ok. Well, as far as the XXXT, its a 5700/MM running 30C 4000-4200MaH batteries 2S batteries (from variety of sources). I honestly don't remember what the original gear ratio was that I missed, but basically I scratched it went and figured out the overall ratio for the Firestorm Flux and then used the same overall ratio for the XXXT which resulted in a lower gear ratio. That dropped the temps on the motor to the acceptable range.
