I recently bought a hobbywing max8 2200kv 4074 combo for my hobao hyper vse 1/8 buggy. The motor has been heating up a bit during the winter on low gearing and the esc is cold. I'm a bit worried on how much it will heat up during the summer. The buggy rolls very freely. I've heard that too low of gearing can cause heat issues, is 14t pinion too small? My plugs are all the way in, so that shouldn't be the problem. Can the freezing cause the motor to heat up? Or is it all normal?
