Wait wait wait....
I always thought that if you run on a higher tooth pinion, let’s use the 6s BLX system for example’s sake... out of the box it’s got a 15 or 16 tooth (sorry haven’t looked yet) pinion... and it says to not use the high speed pinion for bashing because of potential overheating of the motor. This is all knowledge I’m well aware of... the part that confuses me is this little bit of writing that caught my eye when I was glazing over the paperwork for my new Mojave, “Motors and ESCs will get hot during use, especially in high-speed, high load, LOW GEARED running.” Wait wait wait I thought your motor was better off with a 13 tooth than with a 20 tooth. Am I totally off base?
It’s funny, actually, because I have the BLX 185 system in my Big Rock Crew Cab and I have it paired with the 13T pinion, after not nearly quite a full battery of general running in 55 degree weather, I was getting power cut off from what I can only assume was overheating. The batteries weren’t in LVC and it spooked me. I was like wait wtf? It’s geared way down and still overheated with just some general running around the park? How is it even possible to use with a 15 or 20 tooth then???
Someone care to enlighten me?
