E-Revo M-Twin (Lots of Pictures)

I got my 1512/1Y today and installed it and that motor is crazy powerful. I geared it 58/20 and got the following temps after 15 minutes of hard bashing and speed runs:

ESC: 95'F
Motor: 135'F
Batteries: 70'F

I'm almost thinking I should kick it up to a 22T pinion if Neil's "Hot motor + cool esc = undergeared" is accurate. (And from what I've seen, Neil is usually very accurate) And it would put me up to about 46mph (adjusted) according to the calculator. Not that I have any objections with the 43mph I'm getting now.

It would be cheaper to get a 56 or 54T spur and have a similar effect.

unless of course you already have the pinion.

Hmmm, you are definitely right about that but I'm not sure the 54T spur would reach the 20T pinion gear. The 56T Spur might work but it wouldn't be much of a difference.
