JonnyUK Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 If it's stock electronics, the user manual will explain how to adjust the settings. On the WR8 I had, I needed to alter the motors timing down 2 or 3 levels and lower the punch level to help stop the thermal shut off. You can also choose the higher ESC cut off but that can be a bit dangerous for the esc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punch and motor timing at a lower setting will help lots with keeping the temperatures lower. On rock crawler setting, was the braking on full whack every time you came off of acceleration?
