until they release hardened steel gears I'll put off my purchase.

Hey BP-Revo, what temps are you getting? I just ran mine today, I cant find my temp gun but it was still pretty warm running the 1112 and the quark 65a on 3s.

[Semi Pro]

what 1112 are you running?

[BP-Revo]

I'm using the 1112 2D. It's got 3250KV.

Motor temps are dead cool (stays room temp) ESC temp will need to be watch. It felt warm within the first 3 minutes, which means it is getting warm at all (unlike the motor).

I am under-geared though and do need to gear up, we will see temps after gearing is corrected.

Thats weird... ESC shouldnt be warm at all. I have the 1112 1y 3900kv running on 3s with a 28t pinion. It was 108f up here when I 1st ran it last week but now that the temps are back to low 90s I've been getting about 120f on both motor and ESC after about 20 minutes of running.

[BP-Revo]

That's what I was thinking. And even more so I have a external BEC.

However, I am thinking that it is possible that the motor is seeing super high RPM too easily and that is heating up the ESC. I am going to put in the 28T pinion and see what happens.

Have you tried it out on some jumps or the track yet? I know the magnets on my Neu are so strong that I have to give it a good push just to make the tires turn. I'm wondering how this will affect controlling jumps. I know if I hold it in my hand and throttle the wheels will come to a complete stop in about a second after releasing throttle.
