Did you run the same battery pack as before? Was it hotter outside today? Check your gear mesh to make sure its not too tight. |

Damn, I was hoping for the simple solution. Does it get hot at idle or only after you've ran it a while? Make sure you don't have any wires touching at the ESC solder posts. Try a different battery. |
