Yeah, I tried up and down. Down 1T and motor gets even hotter. Up 1T and ESC and motor get to 160f and it shuts down after 5 minutes. At 14T with UE diffs and the big mashers it goes for 8 minutes or so before thermaling, then will run another 8 or so before the batteries dump.

I have a fan on the esc, but only a heatsink on the motor. I need a fan on there too, but need to hook up a mount. Maybe Mike could make an integral motor heatsink/fan mount thingy.

My tires might just be too heavy also, this weekend maybe I'll try a lighter setup...
