1/8 Buggy w/ a Outrunner Motor

[rotary rocket]

Sorry to hear about your toasted MM. Gotta love the $50 warranty.

I run a Plette Max motor in my buggy, it is also a 4 pole motor. I have had NO cogging issues at all. I started with the factory default settings.

She runs on 4S, I get about 25-28 minutes out of the 8000 Mah TP packs with no cogging or thermal issues. With no fan the MM gets up to about 150, with a fan on I have not seen it go above 138.

I have even run multiple packs right after each other and the MM temps were still sub 140. I did burn out my Airtronics servo (ran over an hour straight).

Another intresting point was the center diff got to 150+ degrees also!!!

My gearing on this buggy is 11/46. I wonder if you are geared too high for the LMT?

I even ran in mud the last weekend with no issues. The buggy's weight got up to 12 lbs (with no mud she weights 9 lbs).
