16/68 ARE YOU SERIOUS! That sounds way overgeared to me. Medusa motors typically run 10 degrees or so cooler than an equivalent Neu, and my amp hog 1515 1.5D ran 140ish in 90-100 degree weather geared 22/62. If you have a smaller spur gear go ahead and put that on and your motor temps should drop.
Did you notice it was hitting full RPMs too quickly? That usually means you are overgeared, I almost never hit full RPMs out of either A) Fear of hitting something at that speed or B) Run out of room too fast.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
Yeah, I'd say its undergeared as well. Did you run a neu with that same setup/gearing? What were your temps with it?
yes a 1515 1.5y and my temps was 80f....(no snow sticked in the truck)ive tryed each of my neu and they never pass 90f.....(1515 1y,1515 2.5d,1515 1,5d and 1515 1,5y)all this motor on 6 cell lipo, same temp outside same gearing,,,i will try to gear up today...maybe
