i have an strange issue, the motor is actually running a bit hot... 5-10min of running and its 50c(122f), the ambient temp is only 23f.
Think this is strange because my savage flux thats actaully is abit heavier than the d8 with 5s geared for higher top speed is running alot and i mean alot lower motor temps.

The drivetrain is butter smooth, so i have no idea why its running so hot. its a larger motor than the 2200 so i thougt it should run at an realy nice temp at 16\46.

im gonna try to gear it down, dont want to but i think in the long run the temp at current stage will damage the motor.
This gives me the flashback of the cm36 in slash

Maybe the motor mount in the savage is disposing of the heat ore somthing, but the savage has always runned at a realy nice temp

edit: not all is bad, this thing for sure have some umpf
Gonna try 14 and the castle fan :)
