Default RE: Changing gear ratios in Caldera 10e?

First off, Denton I meant to say 2s lipo.  Don't know why I said 3s but thanks for catching that.  JRock, running the stock motor and esc have not been a problem with the 8.4v nihm.  Big difference in power!  The Caldera 10E I bought used, and the guy who owned it put short course wheels and tires on so this increased the low end a good bit.  That might be why he put the 15t pinion on it.  I put a 13t back on it the last spur gear change I did.  I know you guys are gonna hate me for this but I have no idea what the temp is.  When I bought it I only had nitro trucks at the time and knew nothing about electric.  I never knew heat was a problem until I started reading about it on here, and I figured by that time if I never had a problem with heat it's probably running ok.
