Yes, it says 4038 2000kv on the motor..

No binding in the driveline.. The paddle tires isnt the easyest tires to throw around i guess, but still..

I doubt gearing is the solution anymore. Hitting 190f at sub 30f ambient temps in snow, when i mostly where bashing, jumping and probably not even once was over 35mph....
This must be way to high temps to even be in the ballpark of gearing?!

I did not change gearing when i went for 6s. I kept the gears, and top speed went from 43mph on 5s, to 55mph on 6s.
