Noob gearing/motor question

[RustyUs]

Ya thats insane the speed calculator i used said around 70 but I haven't been anywhere near that yet... maybe 40... not sure but I need to get a gps because I'm not strapping my phone to it. Was running it on 2s earlier and the cheapo battery plug melted but the motor and esc were just above 100... I have some gears and new plugs coming tomorrow so I'll update you then

I don't know how hot your motors were, or how long they were hot. Possibly the magnets have been weakened.

Also I got cheapo batteries they say 11.1 volts... I havnt actually tested them and I also have probably the cheapest balance charger from Amazon so I'm probably not putting out as much power on my setup

That 11.1 volts is the nominal voltage (3.7v x 3) of three LiPo cells. A fully charged LiPo cell will be 4.2 volts. A fully charged 3S LiPo battery will be 12.6 volts.
