Hey!
I have a Lazer Alpha (electrical) (and a Inferno MP-6!!!)
But My problem is with the Lazer, I have a Volcano Reversible ESC that can handle motors limits to 11 turns, and I have a TQ motor with 13 turns. IT worked just fine with my 1500 Mah (Nicd) until I bought and won 2 1700 Mah NiCd, then when I drive after a few minutes the ESC auto stops cause its overheated, the motor gets pretty hot to but it was like that before I bought the new batteries, what should I do?
I Dont wanna Buy a e new motor or ESC and I don't know if I wanna put in a computer fan cause it might "take all the battery"!
Any suggestions are appritiated but I dont want to spend so much money on it cause I gut other stuff to think about (MP-6!!) :D :D :confused: :confused:

Has your motor been rebuilt lately? If it hasn't, it could be drawing more amps than it's supposed to. How is the car, any hangups in the driveline? Do you have heat sinks on the speed control? Using fat wires and using low loss connectors might help too. Is there airflow over that ESC? A vent in the body by the ESC could help.
