are you sure the motor doesn`t run cooler with a 22t pinion?
also, what ambient temps are we talking about?

my 36-60-2000v2 with flightpower evo 5s and tekin r1pro did run under 130F in my 1/8 lightning gt [around 5kg rtr]... geared for 40ish...
i also run a 36-50-2200v2 on 14cells in my e-savage [1/10]... also stays under 130f... that truck is pretty similar [in weight] with a maxx, and i run a smaller [50mm] can with lower voltage and geared quite a bit short [22t pinion]...
just my own tale...

he lives in Houston its comparable to where I live in Phoenix right now its pushing 100 degs by 10 am....I try to do my running @ 7am its only 85 degs ...,,this is our winter

I really don't think people understand what an extra 20-25 degrees of ambient temperature do to these components. It makes a huge difference and I have no desire to stress my systems like that. I tried and it didn't work so spending the extra money is worth it in my opinion.
