brushless xxxt and gearing

[Batfish]

Someone can correct me if I'm off, but a good rule of thumb for motor temps is to keep them below 180F all the time. A good, safe running temp is 150F or below. The magnets in the motors start breaking down at 220F, from what I've heard here.

I personally strive to keep the temp of the motor below 150F and the temp of the speed controller below 140F for the entire run. This generally means that I gear for running at a track (max speed of 30ish MPH) instead of speed runs or 'extreme' bashing. This usually means more conservative gearing and temps when compared to someone trying to push their vehicle closer to the sound barrier :)
