New Brushless With Some Issues

[brijar]

Well, I finally got my brushless setup up and running. My first run was pretty good, but I had forgoten to plug in my shifting servo, so I ran in first thinking I just wasted $250 for most of the run:007:. It was amazing after I fixed the servo though. The motor was extremely hot after the run. So hot I couldn't touch it for even a second:eek:. I was running 16/66 with large Ofna Pirate tires and a rollcage, so it was quite heavy. I have changed to a 14t pinion, but I only have one set of batteries, so it takes a while for me to be able to run again. I had so much torque, it looked like I had a seriously low gearing, but it got really hot which ment the motor had a large load and was probably overgeared. I'm rather new to brushless and I don't know their physics and what they like and don't like, so this is probably an ameture mistake. What can I do to increase my run time and keep my motor cooler without gernading my wallet. I was this || close to my parents saying no to brushless, but I convinced them and doomed my piggybank to a fate worse than death. So I can't do new wheels or an expensive heat sink or anything. Help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanx,
Brijar!!!
