Heat problems with Mambamax/stampede

[sleebus.jones]

I ran your numbers through my gear calc, just for giggles. Your roll-out for your setup (assuming 5.75" tires) is 0.96. Not incredibly high, but higher than I run. On my setup, my rollout is 0.83. It'll get warm, but not like you're talking. I think running up ~ 0.90 is starting to stress the motor. A 12T pinion will help you, that puts you at 0.88 but a 11T is really what you want. That puts you at 0.81. I realize that combo probably isn't availible or possible on your setup, and you'd have to run a 3S to get some speed out of it, but that would set it up to behave properly. :) Speed for that setup would put it ~ 43 MPH.
