Well I tried gearing down. Went down to a 13T and temps did drop. ESC was running at 105F, Bat 96F and ESC was around 155F - 165F and that was after 15 minutes of racing around the track. Couldn't test no more as battery was starting to run slow. It was the same battery I have been using all day. I found myself using WOT alot more with the 13T over the 14T & 15T but it temps stay around there I wouldn't mind. I only have a 13, 14 & 15T pinion so can't really test out other sizes but don't see why I would need to anyway. Charge battery up tonight and go out tomorrow and see if temps stay down. It is also late afternoon here so temps aren't as high as what they were earlier in the day
