I just bought an 8ight 2.0e and it is incredible !!! I am having severe heat issues to where my esc is shutting down with the thermal overload protection. Could you please tell me what might be causing this issue ??? I am going to list everything I can that I have setup on the car so you can get a better idea. Thanks :-)
Stock Losi 8ight 2.0e.....14 tooth pinion, stock spur gear, mesh set perfect, stock diff fluid, I programmed the esc with the card and it has normal timing set, 8% drag brake, full throttle, 20% brake, Losi 14.8 v LIPO batt, Set the throttle curve on my M11 to ease up the snappy feel of the motor/esc, Losi Heat Sink installed, holes cut in body for airflow, air temperature was about 85 degrees, our track is kind of short so Im on and off the throttle quite a bit, the straight is about 80 feet long, ran for about 7 minutes before it thermaled.......any other info you need I can get.
Thanks for any help you can give me. My runtime seems to be fine but it has thermalled on me twice.
