I have mine set at 6.0 volts.
If you're looking for ways to make your ESC run cooler.
Go back over your setup in the ESC. Turn the timing down some, and how about some punch control?
Just remember, you are powering a motor on 4S, that was really meant for 3S. This is going to make it draw ALOT of amps.

thanks...i think i might be geared too high as i'm hitting about 1850 watts when i should be at around 1400...i might need to also set the factory defaults back instead of having zero punch control and the timing turned all the way up...etc...i had everything set for the absolutest worst place to help cooling.

Also, would you recommend the HV capacitor? what exactly does it do?
