Default RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!


ORIGINAL: PrjctStrtFrce

So adding the heatsink/fan would allow us to use the original gearing that should be used with one battery, but with TWO batteries? Would it cool efficiently? The manual states to not exceed 200 degrees, so I would assume that 175 is still ok, right?

175 is still ok and shouldnt do much damage. Now 200 is the limit but if you get close to that on a normal bases you will weaking the magnets. 175 is a little too hot for me(over a period of time that much heat will take its toll on the mags) and what happens when /if I really push it and forget to check temps, I then have a dead motor(a demaged motor will smoke a esc(just dont ask how I know)
