gearing
 

ive been running my durango on carpet with foams im gearing it 23 to kit spur and the motor seems to be getin very hot . at one point the chassis was 100c and the the motor 213c . running lrp sxx tc and 6.5 x12 . my speedo settings are 1.3.2.2 . is it gearing or shall i turn the speedo down .

Hi.
Sounds way too high to me.

I reckon you need to be on a 20 or 21 on a 6.5 X12 type motor. I used to run 21 outdoors on the DEX 410 with long straights. So I'd try a 20 to start with.

The X12 does tend to get very hot when running.

Do you mean 100F and 213F. If it was 100C and 213C, I'm suprised the motor was running?

yea f m8 . sorry . cheers adam i will try that tomorrow

No probs.
I didn't want you to have a molten pile of metal ;)

Goo job its not got a plastic chassis then. :)

yea its good , heatsink chassis lovely :thumbsup:

Its going to be the best thing to have in the winter, I can see peeps overgearing, just to keep their hands warm:lol:
