undergearing brushless ?
can anyone confirm that undergearing a brushless motor will generate excess heat in a similar way to overgearing ?. i'm not talking about a silly low gear ratio (21/78 in an X6) running lipos and an orion 7.5 2008 spec motor.
i will be playing with the gearing anyway but thought i'd ask if anyone else had experience of this.
the motor was running fairly hot on this gearing last sunday (hot day) with cooling holes in the shell - approx 150 deg F (65 deg [ish] C)
it did seem to be topping out on acceleration about half way down the straight but seemed ok on the rest of the track.
