TA04 Over heats really bad
I got one of these for my 7 year old son and ever since i switched over from the stock"silver can" motor to a c027 motor the dang thing gets really hot ,like it's over or under geared. allreadey smoked a monster stock moter with a 12t limit ecs after 4 runs. And only have 2 runs on the new c027 motor and noticed it was getting to hot. The pinion is a 25 t and the spur is a 86 i believe(both stock for the tao4 i got) so i need pointed in the right direction in gearing if any one can help.
Thank you to all those that help.

well first off run a heatsink on it, second make sure that nothing is binding in the chassis or creating excessive drag on the drivetrain. Then take the gearing down tooth by tooth till you find a good setting.

Yes, be sure that the mesh is not causing binding, either. If the drivetrain is not binding, then drop the Pinion by 2 teeth and check the temperature.
