Try this kev, i run a tekin 5.5 in mine and had heat trouble at first.

Put timing down to 0 on the can. I run pinions ranging from 17 up to 22 (yesterday at rhr was on 22). Temps are fine at this. I think can timing is the biggy. Just use timing on the esc if you need a bit more top end.

Edit, seen timing is at 0 allready. Im dumbfounded in this case. Mine actually overheated on the esc. I fixed that by going up 1 pinion. It was hitting top speed too quick so esc was working too hard limiting the current (i think). Many disagreed this was the issue on the day, but it did the trick.

Also i opened up the front end a little and put a few holes in body for some airflow. Every little helps, love the feel of the 5.5 though.
