Yes you are right - it was like a crazed animal. I took the pinion down to 20 and it handles better and the Schulze is less warm. It wasnt boiling hot but it was getting warm. I can only get the throttle to about 30% before the Baja starts to spin around due to the speed. I am going to take it off the tarmac and try it on a reasonably muddy surface to see if it helps with control. Not a big fan of grass but if I cannot control the car at high speed on tarmac it will have to go on grass.
I had to 2 spare Lehner Brushless 3060 Motors (7 turns) with me. Therefore I wasnt going to buy another Castle 2215. I may reduce the pinion down to about 18 - at present I cannot find my box with the Mod 1.5 pinions... so I am going to try this gear ratio for now with a 20 tooth.
I will try and get a video of the Baja later.
