How hot should stampede get?
Hello I was into nitro for a long time and now I am bashing with my kids so I swapped to electric cause the loud nitro just makes things too crazy with the youngsters. So I am a little out of the loop. We got stampedes and an Emaxx. We wasted both stock motors on the pedes and I am using 14 tooth pinion and the stock spur gear. The motor I got for replacement is an old stock roaor 1991 approved stand-up brush stock class motor. I soldered on 3 capacitiors, we run 7 cell and 2s. The motor gets really hot and burns my finger to touch. The drivers are 5 and under so there is a lot of stopping and starting.
How hot is too hot for bushed motors?
also how hot is too hot from brush-less motors?
do they make fans for brushed motors?
What gearing is best for longer runs and cooler running?
thanks

When trying new motors and gearing, its best to use a temp gun. They can be had for $20. Thats less than the motor you might burn up without it!
Im not sure what turn rating those motors are that you put on. And I cant recall the stock tooth count for the stampede pinion. But it kinda sounds like you have them geared low. It is possible to under gear a motor...making it spin at max rpms for long periods of time.

stock is 90/16 for general and 90/18 for speed. Good call on the temp gun,
I have one and I 'll start using it.
thank you for getting back to me
I will post temps after next run

temp gun is a sweet tool. when anything over 130-140 is enough to burn you...but the motors can safetly run 150-160 a temp gun is the only way to be sure. You cant tell by touch if a motor is a safe 160, or a unsafe 190.
I run brushless motors now, and the same holds true. with all the different KV (rpms per volt) availible and the different gearing of different models, you have to have a temp gun to know if your setup is one that will last.

Ran them today and got 110-126 on the brushed and 110- 126 on the brushless. The temp gun was a real super idea. thank you
