...anyway...
I used a Mamba Max 5700kv with stock spur gear and 17teeth pinion gear and Yeah Racing 5000mah 25C 7.4v lipo. Tightened up the diffs, set the slippery clutch to 4mm in. 40wt oil front and rear and and red dot springs.
After 7minutes of racing the motor was 75°C and the 65°C.
After 25minutes of racing the motor was 91°C and the 75°C.
Is it too much?
Is there any alternative to the stock rear wing? It is very fragile...
I should definitely try the 4600kv mamba.

Mattia,
I have the EzRun 8.5T 4000kv motor using the 23T pinion.I reach 78°C after a 25mins ride bashing.
I believe that 5700kv is too much especially on track with small straights and lots of jumps.
Rear wings should be treated as consumables. They essentially provide protection for the chassis and internals.
I have already broken one and replaced it with a DF03 wing for 10Euro. A lot of drivers don't even bother
painting them.
The rear wings on the DB01 has a tendency to push on the rear shock tower and transfer impact force.
I prefer them to be flexible than being rigid so they absorb.
It is nice to have one spare, but i really can't understand its use, we are notlike doing 120kmh on an
autobahn!!!
[Edited] DCM (next msg), has a point on the jumping attitude. Rear wing helps balancing when jumping adding
conciderable rear downward drag!
