How Hot Are You Running Your Wraith?

[alexchen86]

Well usually I do the 5 second rule if I can't keep my finger on the can that long without burning myself I definitely have over geared.

Recently I upgraded some essential drive line pieces on my Wraith kit namely Supershafty's Beefy top shaft for the Wraith as well as installing the RR Slash Gen3 Steel Slipper which is a 56T mod8 and I coupled that with a RR steel mod 8 14T pinion.

Running gear:
BRXL w/CM 16T on 3s 40C 1550mah MaxAmps pack from my MERV days.
CC BEC @ 7.4V on a 7950TH
R2j stainless uppers
CAC Aluminum EZ Locks 2.2 on R35 Ripsaws fronts weighted 8 oz each not including wheels/CI Closed Cell soft foams/tires.
Rears weighted 4 oz each not including wheels/CI Closed Cell med foams.
Aluminum Roof, side, and cargo panels. -DMG and CI
Electronics and battery moved to hood.
Supershafty top shaft/steel RR tranny gears and slipper/MIP shafts
Losi 4" 60wt front 50wt rear white springs all around.
VP Titanium tie rod/drag
Axial aluminum XR knuckles/C's

All in all this thing is a beast rock hopping and tire shreading!

With all that aluminum and steel it doesn't weigh as much as my other 2.2 TT comp rig. I'm guessing in the ballpark of 7 lbs. RTR.

Now with 14/56 gearing the battery puffs a bit after LVC and the motor is usually around high 90's to around 110*

I'm assuming this is ok?

How hot is everyone else running brushed or sensored brushless?

I run my Wraith on 5000mah 3s 40-50c 21t Titan geared 23/80 and it hardly gets warm at all. Even crawling and when it hour bound up.

i have a hh 25t torque master pro. i run a 62/10 and it runs very very cool. most of the time you can barely even feel it getting warm.

been running titan 12t's until i can afford to go brushless, with 21/80 gearing and 2s 5000mah batteries. it gets a little hotter then i'd like. but these motors are cheap and temporary, so it's okay. i just ordered some 3s batteries so im sure it'll get even hotter.

I run 3s 5000mah 40c packs a MMP and a Ballistic 4.5 550 with 15/56 gearing. It's the speed I want but runs very hot. The ESC is naked and in a closed box so toward the end of the battery it shuts down on its own due to heat. The motor runs about 115 - 120. I might drop down a tooth or two on the pinion and see how it goes.

I was running 14 56 on 3s ran great but motor was way to hot to touch by end of pack.

I'm running HH 35T machine wound with BRXL mostly on 2s 5000mah geared 87/16 and the motor doesn't even get warm. On 3s 2250mah it gets a little warm but doesn't get run for as long of a duration between breaks.
