8ight T 9XL

It would be worth a try see if temps come down with more gear. I was beginning to wonder if I was ever putting enough of a load on the motor in my 8lb buggy when running XL motors. Now I have 7.5lb buggy that seems much happier with a "little" 1930 Lehner.

This whole brushless motor gearing issues (or limitations) just reinforces my theory that we need RaserTech's AC Induction motors. 100% usuable gearing range... would also be much more tolerable to high temperatures.

I gree with this too. I think the XL motors ar way overkill in a buggy. I just started playing with a 1930 as well and first impressions after only a couple runs are I like it much better than the very long can motors. (EDIT: In my buggy)

I have a low kv Feigao L size on the way that I want to try out. I feel like the lower KV XL motors need to be geared to the moon to run well in a smaller truck like a buggy. Without enough load it just runs hot.
