Running a smaller pinion might stop your smoking motor. 23 tooth  |

And i dig the functioning hood But seriously, 23 tooth pinion on a 45 turn motor on 3s is fine. i ran 20 teeth on my 35 turn on 3s. It never smoked, but it did like to singe my fingers | ||

Ever cleaned the motor or changed the brushes or cleaned the commutator that helps a lot PS: clean tires grip better  |

I smoked my 55t with a 20 tooth pinion on a 7 cell nimh pack, thanks to a nice wheel bind. 14 tooth on a 45t with 3s is almost too much speed at times for my taste, but it has the crawl torque I want still. Now if I could quit breaking links and drive lines I would be much happier. |

i love the power i make now, i have never had a fast crawler before its neat. but your best bet for a strong running gear is... mip shafts titanium out put shafts for the trans you could go all metal gearing in the trans heavy duty gear set for the axles metal wheel hexes metal steering components Im running metal shafts titanium out put shafts and havet broken once. other then when i did a 2 foot droop and bent my steering outta whack  first comp is may first im ready to break !^@%#$ |
