Cris, shell is ventilated and lipo's are the vampire 4400's. Throttle jamming...maybe
...but 40 degrees difference to Dave and Bill's running temps on similar setups? That's confusing me
Novak say it's optimum running temp is under 160...so maybe I'm worrying too much? Was getting 150's with the 18/19t pinion on so maybe that's fine and the way to go!
Next question then...
Brushless motors get hot when they rev too high for too long, do they also get hot when they rev too slowly for too long? My gut instinct is saying they don't.
I know that ESC's get hot at that point as they need to push more current to make the motor spin undr load...wondering if the motor does the same or just stays coooool?!?!
