I took my truck to the park again to try and verrify if the gearing is correct since a few people said 18/51 might be too high. After running about 10 mins at allmost top speed the whole time I noticed it starting to cog so I checked the temps. Motor and esc very hot, bats warm to hot. I'm gonna throw in a 16t pinion and try and get back out today or tomorrow to see how it works on that. Does everyone think that would be a better ratio to cool things down? I was running 20 cells again. Might try 20 and 14cells with the 16t but if the temps drop to where I want them then I might just keep it on 20 cells.
