Interesting! Even the guy at LRP didnīt know that. Tony: have you by chance ever heard the following? I run a LRP Vector X12 7.5 motor with a SXX TC esc on my DB01R. Track has VERY LOOSE soil (dirt) at the moment. Because of that i thought i will take a smaller pinion than recommended by LRP to make sure the motor doensīt get too hot. I took 18t. For the correct ration (8.0:1 for this motor) i should take a 23t pinion. The motor got very hot after a few minutes (10 min. and about 80 degrees Celsius!!). The guy at LRP said it is possible to run the car with a ratio too low and getting the motor too hot because of that. Same if you take a pinion too big. I always thought that if you take a smaller pinion the motor has no problem because it doensīt need that much power. Have you ever heard that you can overheat the motor by running a pinion too small?
Also he said that i should change the timing of the motor which can also help to get the motor cooler. I guess he meant to reduce timing. Is this of any use? I am wuite desperate now...
