I am running a Tamiya Sport tuned motor with a hobbywing 1060 ESC It is amazingly fast for a few minutes then drops speed. The ESC beeps, I think to signal that it's overheating? This is in a Tamiya TL01 chassis with the ESC tucked away deep inside so not getting much airflow. Is it the ESC or the motor that gets too hot to cause this? The body shell is quite enclosed. Would I benefit from cutting out the front plastic grille and replacing it with mesh? Would a bonnet or roof scoop inlet improve airflow? ......or am I barking up the wrong tree??

I just got a programmable Hobbywing Quicrun crawler ESC. but does it have a failsafe feature? I'm more used to Nitro cars where the failsafe is a seperate item. I'm using this on a FTX Kanyon with a brushed motor, TF40 Transmitter and RF40 receiver. If so.....how do I enable it? Thanks in advance..... Jez

Has anyone made a front diff bash guard for a Kanyon? I have aluminium sheets but cant think how to mount one to the axle. I'm sure I've seen a photo of one fitted. Any ideas anyone?
