Lipo is HOTTER than esc and motor
So i purchased a used HPi Wr8 flux, when i got it it had a 2ch spektrum reciever in it, which ment the fan on the ESC wasnt pluged in. I have no idea how long this dude ran it like that or if it got overheated, or what. But any size Lipo i run in it (which usually is a Floureon 3s 4500 mah 30c battery). When I run it which is maybe for 10-15min max my Battery gets hotter than my motor or Esc. I checked the temp and it was 130°-135°F. And the motor was only around 110° and esc was around 100° give or take. But my battery is way to hot! Anybody know why this is hapening. Btw, ive got a 3 ch reciever in it now with the fan working properly.
