newbie needs help

how much is the estimated runtime on a 17 double turn on a 3000nimh cuz mine only ran for 10 minutes first 4min has fast response the other the rest starts to slowdown?

I just want to know what are signs of motor overheating cuz Im not familiar with electric but on nitro I do know ... LHS told that I should go lower my tooth on my pinion

if you think it is getting to hot you could drop down a few teeth on the pinion. That should decrease the stain on the motor. Or if you are one of those people that just drive every were without taking of the throttle then you could try driving a little smother, this will also increase run time.
