wire gets hot

[jhautz]

I agree... Make sure your connections are good. What kind of connector are you using? Deans... 3.5mm gold bullet? What wire is it? the motor wire or the battery wire?

Also mentioned above is wire length. If you are still getting heat shorten it as much as you can.

I would think the 11 gauge would be plenty. I use 12 or 13 on most stuff and dont have any issues.
