As some of you already know I have stuffed a Leopard 4092 1480kv motor into my et48.3
I am running 6s through a MMX (Mamba Monster X) and a 20T pinion. I have dual WTF fans and heat sink over the motor, and yet I hit temps of 200 degrees this morning. Previously I was running a Castle 1515 on 4s, but since I wanted to run 6s I figured the lower kv would keep my temps under control. Anyone have any experience with this motor, do they get hot easier than something like a TP Power motor of the same size?
Tires are Badlands MX38's and I was running is mostly grass, not tall but it was wet. The wet grass made for a long cleaning session to say the least.
Thinking of ordering some Boca ceramic Orange Seal bearings for the motor, but even if iut drops my temps 10 degrees, 190 is still way to hot.
