i spray my electric motors with trinity electric cleaner after every use. i put new brushes in them whenever they lose contact. do the mod motors use up batteries faster though? i'd put a 9t in the stampede to liven it up if it'll run as long as my quad mag 19t

mike if its running so hot that you need to let it cool your probably running too lean or just not getting enough air to the motor. cut a hole in the windshield. for a small block i run around 240-260 most of the time but run up to 280 whenever im racing someone usually. 300 and your gonna be on the edge of damaging the piston/sleeve. big blocks tend to run cooler so i still at 230-240. you said about spilling gas there is a fuel gun you could get if your spilling it while filling the tank. if your spitting a lot of fuel out of it chances are your too rich...thats why the nitro gods invented the temp guage...never run without using one.
