I'm using Schumacher branded 12g wires. So I'll look to change that, thank you. The battery wires do get hot.

The motor is an x12 550 motor, it has twin cooling fans. The speedo had one fan.

I'm running 12 g wires to the battery and they do get hot so I'll swap them, thanks.

Its a x12 550 long can. It has twin cooling fans. The speedo had 1 fan.

Maybe your LiPo needs a fan !

It is starting to sound like you're just in need of some good batteries.

Lol yes battery fan is needed and yes I am in need of different cells, any suggestions as Lrp and Orion don't really seem up to the job.

I haven't tried going for a bigger pinion but someone else had suggested it also do I'll try it, I'd assumed a bigger pinion would make it run hotter.

I haven't actually tried that but I will. I was thinking of maybe retarding the motor timing also.
Incidentally is that mark Christopher as in the the journalist/contributor?
