Running a Arrma Kraton and currently geared with a 17T pinion and stock Spur gear, with 4s and a Castle 1515 2200kv motor (non sensored). I want to move to 6s soon and am worried my motor will get too hot the way I am set up right now. Motor temps currently will hit just below 160 Fahrenheit on 4s, this is running it hard on both street and off road. My castle motor has a single fan from Castle no heat sinks on the motor. I live in Texas, so heat will be a issue in a few months. I see only two choices here, they are...
A. Change pinion - Will I lose top end speed? I want to move to 6s to be faster than what I am currently.
B. Sell the Castle and buy a lower kv motor, like a Leopard. Though I would rather not spring for a new motor if I don't have to.
Any ideas? Please explain, Thanks.
