Thats fine mate, I know it can't be catergorised "official", but I know your a well respected member of the forum with a wealth of practical knowledge and I value your opinion.

I'm somewhat trying to get my head around why after doing all the reading, setting up my car how I considered "best practice", taking temps at multiple stages of the first run, I still blow the ESC in like 20 mins???

Would you consider my setup excessive or borderline or is it just "one of those things"??

If I gear down to 13/48 won't that just give me more torque and make the motor hotter?
