so brushless is really fun, but NO ONE EVER said that I would literally be glueing tires EVERY NIGHT!! Seriously, thanks guys.
But what i don't get is this: how is everyone running these setups at such low temps all the time, and I'm almost frying things here? My MMM thermalled today(!), but took off again when it cooled. For the trillionth time, here's my setup:
Losi muggy (~12lbs 1/8 4wd)
Tekno Neu 1515 1Y (2200kv)
MMMv2
Hyperion 6S 4800 20C
12 or 18T pinion
Temps today reached: motor: 185, MMM: thermalled @ ~185ish, battery: 133. These temps are too hot for me! I want to be like everyone else who runs a MMM and never even sees the fan turn on! Why am I so hot? I was doing mixed driving today (speed runs, fast turns, stop and go, jumps, and tearing up the grass), and the temp outside was ~80ish, but the body was off the truck the whole time!!! And these temps were not reached at the end of a charge, no, more like after 10 min or so.
Also, I don't see much, if any difference between 12T and 18T pinions. So, what am i doing wrong?
Finally, why is it that I have my MMM LVC set to 18V, and yet when I plug the battery in to charge (and balance at the same time), the charger says the battery is ~20V?? What's wrong? and am I getting robbed of 2V?
