Default RE: Official Rustler Thread

Thanks for all the gearing input!  I'll try several options next week once I get the new gearbox housing installed.   A couple other newbie motor-heat related questions:

1.  Could something be wrong with my motor that causes it to run hot?  Works great; plenty torque, plenty speed... just hot.
2.  Could the ESC contribute somehow?  The 80A XeRun specs aren't too far off the VXL ESC specs but... whatever's going on inside that blue box is FM as far as I'm concerned.
