Stomper90 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi peeps. It's the stock Velenion system. It's not run hot before. The variables different today were large stone chips were the running service and had 1/8 buggy tyres fitted using the 17mm hex converters. The pinion is 14 tooth. When I stopped the car you could not touch motor. ESC fine. Any idea? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Bigger wheels, more rotating mass, need to gear down...two teeth on the pinny minimum, may need more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Add a fan to the motor, 14t is already r low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 A fan is masking the issue Alex, which is that the 14t plus 1/8th wheels on the vxl is too much. Could fit a larger spur.. Gear down, revert back to stock size wheels or invest in a new combo capable of running 1/8th wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stomper90 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ta folks. In the short term I will try gearing down a bit then and over the long term think about a new electrics system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
