thank you ching. I tried my friends's 3.5 before, sorry can't remember what brand... It is not as fast as the x12 but the temperature is about same..... I am very happy with this setup. The esc have lot of punch ( I am only using 1 for punch and not running any turbo). I think it feel better than the LRP for 1/12. LRP low punch setting the car do not have enough punch, high punch setting the throttle is not as smooth as the HW........ Motor with the 12.25 rotor the motor is sligthly warmer than stock rotor. Little less punch, more top speed.
With 1S operation, it is common that the ESC will get hot while the motor is not. The reason is because of the large amount of the current drawn by these motors. With less voltage, a even higher current is needed and thus the heat.
There is really no way around this except to install better heatsink or to use 2S.
Yes, running a fan already as with heat shink it won't fit under the body.... Without fan the ESC is around 85 degree after 8min!!! Even with fan is around 70 degree
Hum.... it should not be necessary.... As I am using LRP 3.5T with HW 1S for sometime already.....Oh, what roll out are you using? Maybe ratio too high?
