Not on grass. You're luccky none of the FETs blew due to the high stress you put on them. You have to find a way to use at least a 51T spur with a 11T pinion to run on 5S or you have to use 3S lipos. Auto timing is fine or 0 degrees as you have the D wound Neu motors. One thing good about the MGM is that the ESC slows down when too much load is put on the ESC. So you were probably running on less then 50% power.

Ahh ok, lucky then, ill look into another motor mount. Good to know theres still some speed left in it

You should've been flying, but on grass your ESC just went into reduced power mode.

Starting to make sense...

It did slow down even more just before i decided to stop, i thoguht it might have been the batteries, but it must have been the ESC. Starting to make sense... .........

I just pulled the motor and esc off the truck and found i have melted the bottom heatshrink on the ESC, can i just unscrew the heatsinks and re shrink wrap it?







Also, when i pulled the heatshrink off of the gold connectors, i found one of the motor wires had become detached and was only being held in place by the heatshrink. Looks pretty toasty in the connector. Could this have caused the overheating, or is it definately the gearing?



any help would be good, i think this is definately operator error though

Which solder did you use for the bullets? You can just re-shrink the MGM. Make sure to hold the lighter as far away as possible so you don't fry the internals. Why not retrofit your motormount to be adjustable? Why would you (in your right mind) gear so high?
