I just took this out again - I geared it up to 51mph on 8s. That gearing really woke this thing up and it can move (I don't know when I'll have vids). It was really squirrelly at high speeds on low grass - the rear tires were really ballooning, so I'm going to have to tape those too.

After about 20 minutes, temps were:
batteries 112F
esc 119F
motor 152F

I'm happy with the speed and power and temps with this gearing. I'll have to try it on 10s at some point geared for 50mph and see it the motor likes that better. At this point I don't see a need to gear for higher speeds.
