Lotsa worm lube and use the DIG to relieve the drivetrain pressure and not the motor to power thru it....you will be surprised at the difference it makes.

With my brushless 18.5T Novak Crawler motor, I can rip 10 pound boulders out of the course with a squeeze of the throttle but the motor doesn't like it, nor do the axle pins. Using the "dig" to take the pressure off the drivetrain will not only lengthen your run times, but your motor will thank you for it. | |

Using the dig is going to help you the most, but I put a little computer fan on mine, and that keeps it cool for a bit.

make sure there is air movement around motor. try moving things if possible to get air to go in and out of the motor

Does the 3PK have a 3 position switch? I was hoping to use it for my Losi build.
