My brushless E-maxx (Video)

Been a little while since I posted, I was in Vegas at the CES show :)

So I decided to havea little fun today and get more facts. So here is what I learned.

1) I am geared 16/66, I have a 18 pinion, should I be putting that on?
2) In 1st gear 45 degrees outside bash type running Motor came in at 160 degrees, Batteries 95, and esc was 55

Changed to a fresh pack, shifted to 2nd gear and ran for 5 min. This is the result :( See attached pic



3) Motor temp was 130 degrees, But to be honest I don't think it was up to full temp yet since I had not been running that hard. Acceleration was not near as good.



So what should I do now.
I am thinking for back yard bash maybe I should use 18/66 and stick to 1st and see what happens.

How much more gearing does 2nd gear give another 20% or so?


What should I do about slipper, It almost looks like the pegs wore down then things over heated melting the center hub, then do to being out of round the spur teeth got shreded. Does that sound like the norm?
