gearing advice

[burgie]

I am looking for a suitable gearing starting point for the 22. It is geared on a 23 pinion to the kit spur - but it runs hot - not hot enough to thermal though.

It currently has a Tekin Redline 7.5 and RS-Pro installed. Cells are 4500 mah 40c.

Other than a couple of holes in the shell, the car is not cooled.

I do not know the temp of the motor after a run, I just know it smells hot and feels hot! Do the Tekins (like the LRP X12's) tend to run hot?
