Thanks guys! I'm happy that you like it.

So I think the brushed motor didn't like the 5000 mah coming out of that lipo since it melted (the motor not the lipo). I think a 22t pinion was a bit too much as well but even with a 16x2 brushed motor and 17t pinion the motor gets really hot. So my bet is that the amperage is too high for a brushed motor. The esc and battery don't heat at all (well we'll see after I remove the fan from the esc though).
Ema you're right so maybe later I'll get a body. ButI enjoy driving it with the original colors and the priority is given to a brushless Novak ballistic 540 (7.5t probably) and a rear gear box that has a belt tensioner.
Naushad, the esc is a Novak GTB and the motor is a 16double brushed motor geared on a 17t pinion. The battery is a Protek 2s 7,4V 5000mah lipo battery.
