Quark fried, blown capacitor...

OK guys. Since the Quark had to go back to S&T, I decided to get rolling with the MM, so I cleaned everything up a bit. The 8ight is running so well, that I may just get rid of the Quark and the Compro when I get them back.

Anyway, here's the latest version of my cap bank. Again, it is a set of four caps, encased in aluminum and epoxy mixed with aluminum oxide powder.









I kept the fan on the esc for super cool running. The problem I'm having now is that I used to use the temps to adjust gearing. Now the esc runs so much cooler than the motor, I find myself overgearing and I can only tell because it starts to cog.

Right now, I'm running 14/44 gearing with a 9XL and the MM on 4S lipo. Does that gearing sound right? Do I need to go up or down on the pinion/spur?
