question:
I will be running in a friendly Touring-endurance-competition this weekend, using my brand new Mi4.
I will be running a RS Pro combined with an Orion 17.5 or 10.5 brushless-motor.
I would prefer to use the 10.5 and use very soft settings on the radio and ESC so that we would drive on consistancy and no-damage.

The endurance consists of:
3 hours driving
pause and BBQ
last stint of 3 houres.
Track will be a concrete playground in a little school.

Are there specific settings I could/should use on the ESC so that it will run soft but not "turtl'ish" and will not heat up too much.
To be safe, I intended to use a litle fan on the motor anyway ... but while I'm typing this ... i'm thinking I might reconsider this and actually aim that fan at the ESC?

I usually run my RS Pro in my Pred and this ESC never let me down or became too hot, even after long training stints, so I know it will "eat" that endurance without any problem, but better safe then sorry as they say.

thx in advance
