mm pro heat issues

[csagaz]

Im running a 35 turn v11 motor,cc bec, 20t pinion on 4s runs fine but gets pretty hot after 5 minutes.ecs light keeps blinking when in not on throttle.is it because i disconnected the red wire on the esc.

[It usually runs fine]

What kind of vehicle is it in and how are your running it? If your going slow and it's hot then the pinion may be too tall, if it's a go fast the pinion may be too short. Also check for drag and binding in the entire driveline, motor, bearings, wheels.....

Im running a 1.9 scaler about 6lbs no binding just cleaned out all the bearings on tranz and axles.mostly driving it slow.

Need more info on your setup. Which scaler, tranny, diffs, etc.

I thought the MMP was for brushless only, are you running brushless? Also, i'm running the LCC with the worm drive, so it may not be a good comparison, but i run a 13T pinion. My MMP is NEVER even warm, but the motor gets pretty warm after a full 3s pack.

the mmp runs sensored/sensorless brushless and brushed. which light is blinking? if its the yellow one thats fine, it blinks whenever the brushless cheat mode is off.
a 20t is fairly large for a 35t on 3s let alone 4s. if the pinion doesnt help try putting the mmp where it gets more air flow. my mmp is running 2 hw brood 30t's and after a pack it is fairly warm but never hot.

My software version 1.0.0 didn't have lights blinking but the newest had a yellow light flashing. No biggie, just a little annoying.

I couldn't even get the fan to kick on with a 13.5 /3s in my losi. How hot is it? Can you touch it?

i can still touch it.maybe its because of the location we were crawling at has no breeze at all.that bliking light is annoying thanks for your help.

Nothing sounds too out of place. I highly recommend having an IR temp reader though. You can get them for around 20-30 online and at the LHS.

If you can touch it, most likely you are fine. The MMP has a thermal shutoff anyway so it won't overheat.

Sounds normal. You won't hurt that speed control. It's over kill in any 2.2" or smaller tire rig.
