OK I think I'm down to gearing issues and doing a double check with the grand wizards here. I dropped my brake curve and EPA down to almost nothing 15% and that helped stop overheating a little. I have a hobbywing ESC (forget model I'm at work..SHHHH) and an older novak 4.5 motor with 4s Lipo (2 packs in series). I can drive for about a 1/4 battery life before it starts going into thermal protection mode. the motor feels hotter than the ESC by far. I have power enough to flip my truck on its lid from start even with the throttle curve set about 50% at my Tx. it really thermals when I do long high speed runs so I'm thinking gear for higher speeds. is there any gearing guides for E-maxx / Gorillamaxx setups anyone knows of? I'm not having good search results on this topic or maybe I'm too lazy to keep digging. You decide
