Little cooling help for MM Muggy?

[ilpufxit]

I just counted. It's a 46t spur. It's a losi Muggy with Muggy diff gearing. I guess what I'm really wondering is how much of a gearing change would it take to make the difference. If I could give up a little top end speed, that would be a fair trade. The torque is already more than I need but there is a little cogging from a dead start.

1 tooth drop on the pinion would not be very noticable and may help heat issues. 2 teeth would most likely do it, but that would knock off a few mph.

Just get a novak 2700 cap and solder it to the main leads close to the board. That may do the trick, and costs about 10 bucks!

Also, reattaching the heatsink properly will help too, the stock thermal glue is not applied very well.

using the speed calculator going to a 12 tooth pinion drops off 5mph, but how often are you at top speed? that should help your cogging too.

Another question - what are your MM settings for the following:

Punch Control

Motor Timing

Startup Power?

I've had several conversation with the Castle guys on the phone and the "Normal" setting for Timing is like a 10% advance on timing. They recommend setting the following:

Timing - Lowest
Start Power - Low
Punch Control - up to the batteries you are using. If you have punch control set at 0, try kickng it up to 30% and adjust it from there.
