Granite My brushed motor went out. Upgrade or replace?

On 2S?

Ah, I see now you run 4S on it. 2x 2S. Not sure the blx100 ESC is rated for more than 3S...

So watch the temps on esc and motor.

The ESC is the 120A model but the motor doesn't have a heat sink on it yet so im waiting on that

Ah ok, then it's the same I have, it's 3-4S

Yup which is really the only reason i went to duel 2s
cause its rated for 2-4 on the box

I have a cheap heatsink with a good fan on it. It actually can hold two fans if necessary.

 

[FreaknPurple]

Not a bad idea. how do i wire up the fans? is there a spot on the ESC or do i just plug it into the receiver

 

[Cypher]

I tried 4S once, it was too much I connected fans to aux on receiver.

It is so much power but its tuned wayyyyyy down right now so its not as instant
it keeps the speed but it accelerates far slower. still holds a wheelie though
