Just got back from a top speed run. GPS says 46mph with 52/15 gearing and Dirt Hawgs. I also only got about 7 min of runtime. Does that sound right for a 6L? It is overgeared though so that might have something to do with it. Got some high temps also. It's about 90 out right now and the motor got to ~140, ESC ~ 145 and batteries ~160 in some places :026: . I think I'm gonna need fans. Again it could be because it was overgeared also.

*edit* Hmm. Out of curiosity I checked the voltage on the pack and it was at 10.25. Seems a bit high for a dead 8 cell pack. So I hook it up again and it's still fine. Does the Mtroniks have a thermal throttling where it will cut the voltage down or something and not just stop? Would it do it at only ~145 deg?

*edit 2* Or not....I just charged the pack and it took 3800 mah.
