Tell me what i need to do??? - 07.20.2008, 09:34 AM

OK after racing the xray last night with this setup right here : Mod1 MM w/30mm novak fan, 10xl, 5s 5000 flightpower geared for 43 mph. i was completely impressed i had the brakes working excellent and i ended up qualifing 4th in the expert buggy (this was my first 1/8th scale race in 8 years ) I didnt have any problems in the qualifiers as they were only 5 minutes long my temps of those 3 were: esc-145, motor 155, battery- 115. Now when we got to the 20 minute main i was worried so i really took it easy and just drove as smooth as possible, i pitted at 12 minute in for temp and the esc-165 (with fan rolling) and the motor was 175, battery -115. at 2 minutes left in the race the MM thermaled and shutdown left me stranded luckly i was far enough ahead of 3rd to hold on to my 2nd place for the evening ( not bad for the first time i ever even drove the buggy 2nd out of 12 in the expert class)
the turn marshall brought it in and i yanked the body off afap and the esc read-185, the 10xl was 187, lipo was 115.


SO tell me guys what do i gotta do to make the 20 minute main???? it was embarrassing having it crap out on me right at the end while i was reeling in the leader so what kinda setup can i put in this thing and make the main and KEEP my temps UNDER 165 all around.

the track is notorious for being extremely hard on gas motors since prolly 15 secs of your 45 sec lap in wide open or close to it, while the rest is VERY tight and technical.

help me out here i thought i would be good running the 5s and 10xl in the little buggy since itd be quite over powered i thought i would have better temps and runtimes over a 4s setup. so what am i gonna have to do?????

ive got 3 weeks to get this thing to where it can run 20 minute mains and then we are having a BIG race where twice as many people show up .
