slash... best motor?

[rootar]

gearing and temperature go hand in hand like this:

if the motor is too hot and esc barely warm = gear up as you are running to close to full speed all the time (which makes the motor run hotter yet is easier on the esc)

if the motor is cool and esc too hot = you have the opposite problem you are over geared which means your over taxing the controller running at too low of speed and the motor isnt even breaking a sweat.

for optimal gearing it all depends on how your driving and such but i like to equal out on motor and controller both in the 135-140 range on these 96+ degrees summer days.


if both are running too hot (over 160) then your prolly under powered or something else could be wrong
