Newbie here.
I have an eb48.4, that has been running ok temp wise this spring, until now that it is getting hotter. The body is a J concepts finisher. I am running 4s on a HW 4268 G3 2200kv with a 14t pinion. ESC is a Xr8 sct.
The motor and esc were getting hot so the first thing I did was perforate the window in front more as well as cut put all 3 sets of vents in the rear. (Previously just had the bottom set cut out, a small line of holes in the windshield, and the motor inlet.
They both still seemed to be hot so somebody recommend a bigger pinion given the ESC temp. The ESC temp now is better, but the can is getting to hot to touch still.
Should I try and go up on pinion some more? Did opening up to many holes in the rear of the body kill the airflow? I often hear people saying aren't using fans in their buggies, but dont see how I can swing that with my current temps
.
Outdoor track with a 150 foot is straight with 2 or 3 hard braking zones.
