So I wanted more top speed on my traxxas stampede and bought 23/86 gearing from my 19/86 gearing and the car was tons of fun however it smelled like burnt electrical after. Will I need to downgrade or is it something else on the truck

Did you check the motor temp? Whenever you change gears it is best to test the motor temp with an infrared temp gun to make sure you are staying below 160°F or so.So I wanted more top speed on my traxxas stampede and bought 23/86 gearing from my 19/86 gearing and the car was tons of fun however it smelled like burnt electrical after.

I like the new frog lol!I run my Stampede 4x4 with a HW brushless system 3s but run it on 2s simply because it's harder to control with 3s.
2s is plenty fast. I don't remember what gears I am running but it works and I have never reached thermal shutdown with the esc.
