Hey y'all! so I took the slash 4x4 out today, and it overheated once again almost immediately. I'm wondering if this is a battery problem because after I ran it yesterday I plugged in the battery and the charger said it was full. The battery is a Floureon 40c 7.4v 6200mAH 2s LiPo.
 
btw the battery does not look puffed at all
 
Your slash 4x4 should be fine running the 2 cell. I'm not sure what your gearing is?? Is something binding in drive train?.check..

My battery is heatshrinked and the ends are epoxied. I don't see any holes or worn through spots. I can send a pic if you want.
