why are my temps so high???

I dunno. All I know is that every time I think I have this whole brushless thing figured out, I realize I know nothing. Kinda sucks, but it still beats nitro; and not only can I not afford to give up, but I refuse to! Things do seem to keep going wrong though. I completely craked a wheel and a shock tower yesterday, and I really do have to reglue all my tires and wheels after each day. Man is that getting old!

FWIW, I DID go over my entire setup with the guy, and he was definitely an older guy, with knowlege. He seemed to know quite a bit actually. I know you guys do too, so when a newbie comes along (like me), and gets different opinions, well, it makes it real hard to figure out who to go with. So, I'm gonna go back to 12T, see how hot things get, see if brake usage makes any difference (if so I'll go to mechanical brakes), and stay off the grass. If it's still too hot, then a new spur, and if THAT doesn't help, then there's a Neu motor for sale. I hope to not have to do that - major PITA (the lower kv's are still on backorder).
