Granite kv-pinion thoughts

[Jimmyjam]

So in my homemade bigrock/granite conversion I'm running a 1900 kv motor with a 26 tooth pinion on 3s. It runs like a raped ape. I'm happy with it but I'm not sure when the weather actually makes it too the plus side of 0* whether or not its gonna overheat or not? Whats your thoughts?

What motor and what ESC? Also what tires?

You have it geared for a top speed of 51 mph (according to my spreadsheet). That's just a hair quicker than the stock setup. My only concern would be the ESC. I don't have much faith in the BLX100.

I was gonna try 4s for a few speed runs but now I'm not thinking that's a good idea

That's a terrible idea, unless you want a reason to replace the BLX100?
