durango electrics??? help!

[cartz1984]

having over heating issues with mine running an sxx esc, used to run a sphere no problem but due to now having different chassis it was too tighter fit at the time, ive now got a smaller reciever so im gonna try a different esc any recommendations welcome, ive seen a few tekin rs esc's fitted anyone now how they run temp wise ect?

Reduce the timing settings if you are getting over heating. What turn motor are you using and what pinion?

[RC John]

Yes, Tekins fit well, but they can also overheat. If you get one, make sure to get the pro. I solved my overheating problems by cutting extra cooling holes in the body. I'm hoping the new V3 body will help cool the electronics.

Overheating esc's have been the bane of my racing. My nosram evo ran hotter in my durango than my RS pro. Not raced indoors yet, but even an intense outdoor heat reads 3-4 leds out of 7. Will be using my motor cooler indoors for sure. Glad I got my tekin.

Tekin all the way, I will never use another brand of electric again.

outdoors 7min heats from 7leds never went past 4leds.

[RC John]

By the way, which sxx version are you running?

I guess I push my car harder than you. I usually get 6-7 leds after 7mins.

thanks for that, i have 0 timing on the speedo its all turned down to the lowest settings, sent esc back to lrp no fault found tried a 6.5 and 5.5 both novak,s motor temp isnt a real issue just the esc, im not sure without looking what spur i have on but its the kit one im sure ive used 20,21, on the 5.5 and 21,22 on the 6.5?? neithermade much differnece its runs slightly better with the 6.5 in though. dunno if i should try a tekin or try an go back to the ye old spere tc which never caused me any issues. if i can find a good one that is.

Mines probably geared lower.

Orion R10 pro all the way matey. Mines running cool as you like even when the timing is boosted. Great speedo and not expensive either.

I dont think he means me dude. At least, I hope not!!!

Whats a good setup (esc wise) for the 410 and the RS pro then?
Mine I think shut down and was real hot, too hot for my liking.
Had stock spur 20T 5.5T indoors.

I haven't checked all the settings yet will do that tomorrow and see if the timing isn't too high (whats high)

Thinking about going to a 6.5T and hopefully get the temps lowered.

[minke]

x12 6.5T and 21T pinion in mine. IIRC initial punch is at 80% I'll see if I can dig out my settings

[craigosh]

Got a Hobbywing 120amp in mine, runs nice and cool.
Speedo timing on max, with hpi 6.5 on 24t pinion there is a ton of top end.
