My esc is getting really hot. does anyone know what could be the cause of this? It's my brother's truck, and it's not a redcat, but you guys are always great help so i thought i should ask.

RE: ESC
nope it's got a stock motor, which i believe is the same or very similar to the redcat stock electric motors. It has only a 3300mah battery with an upgraded LRP ESC(because he fried the other one in the snow).

RE: ESC
my brushless on my volcano gets warm. I am installing a fan on the esc. Also the battery and motor gets warm but running it down in the florida heat and beating the heck out of it, I cant complain. I also use deans plugs.. the 5000 lipo melted the tamiya plugs. lol

Someone said to switch to deans. That would help the connectors heat but if anything it will make the esc hotter
