I see. Thanks for the info.
Too bad there is no such chart for the Feigaos.

Another question: My Revo has pretty much a Maxx setup (EMaxx tranny, same diff-reduction, Maxx wheels) and I have it geared at 16/66. Now the motor (9L) get's above 70°C pretty quick, and most times ends up at around 90°C (190F, I think). Should I be worried?
The drivetrain is smooth and free of binding. I run 14 matched GP 3300 cells. The controller and the batts stay rather cool. I don't think I geared it to high, what's your opinion?
The track I drive at has alot of up and downs, alot of accelerating in upwards slopes. And I hardly use the brakes at all.
Ah, yes, this track is so tight, most times I spend the whole packs only in first gear. (that's the reason I think I should be on the save side with the gearing, and why I'm surprised at those high temps)

Please post your suggestions or comments. As soon as I get my next order, I will have Mikes heatsink. But I assume this will only have a small impact on the actual temp at the magnet.

Thanks you for your help
