Lightbulb ?Shortage of power?

Evenin All,

While I dont have many posts (on here anyway) I have several different rigs (nitro and electric) and consider myself proficient with this addiction . My ? has to do with my SCX as it seems that when I run it for a bit (20ish minutes) it seems to loose power or experience a "cut" in power. Its all stock electronics run on a Traxxas 7600 2C lipo. I know the battery is good as if I let it sit for a bit she will have full power again and I can continue trying to break it. I did buy new and its the latest version.

Any ideas or am I just overreacting?

Thanx for any info.

Whats a good temp range? And if Im running the stock gearing with little/no resistance could it still overheat? Aside from some "blips" to get onto or over some rocks its run kinda slow. Not running thru tall grass or WOT for long periods by any means.
