Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

I did get the new motor. And after I posted that last one, I thought to myself "I should check the tracking." And of course there was a big difference in the blades. Then she flew fine so to speak. Now, for some reason, she has a tendency to veer to the right with left on the trim. But as far as the motor, it still gets pretty hot.

I have an 8T pinion, flat blades, and 1320 lipo. My main motor gets too hot to touch after about 10 minutes, but does not seem to lose any power or anything. I have 1 E-flite heat sink on it. I think I will add another to see if it helps.

Be sure to use thermal paste on your heat sinks. Also, make sure the heat sink 'hugs' the motor can tightly. If it is loose, take it off, and pinch it gently but firmly between your fingers to tighten it.
