Yup, tried the calibration a couple times. I'm using the stock traxxas radio, so I don't think it has EPA...

Not to mention that the KV is very high even when using a 7.2V pack. You are almost near 60000rpm, which is not good for the motor's effeciency and that is the reason behind the high temp of the motor.

I'm not having any heat problems with the motor. It was barely warm to the touch after 15 minutes running...

I was actually thinking of doing that today... I'll probably do it tomorow...



For whoever asked... The tires barely baloon on 7.2v...


I think I'm just going to go buy a damn 460 and spend a couple hundred $$$ on some decent lipos.. :(
