| Thats how it is, worm gears are inefficient so they will heat that little motor up! |

| He is correct. Your money may need to be spent on brushless and not lipos. But the worms will eat brushed motors up went through a 35,45, and 55 untill I went brushless and that was the trick. So you may have to cough up the $$ to get it to do what you r lookin for. |
