Will this overheat my motor and esc before its drained? I have a slash 4x4. If it will overheat any fan or cooling suggestions?

It shouldn't. The rustler ESC is similar (I have a vxl) and I am pretty sure it is rated for more than 2s. Just don't run it continuously until it is drained, and turn your lipo mode on to prevent battery damage. If you need to run it continuously, get a fan for your ESC and motor.

all depends on your gearing if overgeared any motor will overheat with any battery . I run a castle 3800 kv and mamba max controller . never overheat

Yes it will get hot if you don't have any fans I have the dual integy fan on the motor and it keeps it running good with the 10000 mah

First off, this battery will not fit the Slash 4x4 unless you modify the tray to strap it down.Secondly, you should not drain Lipos. The furthest you can take a Lipo battery is 3.3 volts per cell, in this case, down to a combined total of 6.6 volts.Third, the battery will not cause heating issues if hooked up properly. If your motor is running hot then change the pinion gear with one that has a lower tooth count. Don't go drastic changes either. For example, if you currently have a 20T Pinion, then dropping down to 18 would be good; dropping down to 15, not so much.

To be completely honest, this esc will rock your Slash 4x4 like a hurricane! I had 1 in mine a while back and on 4s it smoked my friends E-revo on 6s! Very well worth buying for your Slash.

If it started to run again after 10 minute or so then yes the vents on the top of the motor above the string could be clogged and causing the motor to overheat. If the trimmer just stopped working it could be a number of things. Switch/trigger, battery, wire shorted against the housing in the tube, etc.

I have lots of motors, and Mike is using "Sea-Foam" I'm sure. Good stuff. I use sta-bil, and on occasion add some Lucas gas treatment. I don't drain gas, it's a pain, and it stinks having a dry carburetor and trying to prime things in the dark, right when you need it. Better to run what you got every month or so, a generator should be placed under load as well, to create some heat in the electronics

I have the robocut and like one commented the motor overheats and stops after a few minutes of use. I also notice that the motor is slowing down even after replacing blades and oiling. I will be changing to flowbee soon to try it out.

I don't think its recommendable. Just like all other motors this also produce heat and if you let it run for 24 hrs it will kill the motor.

Joey, I have not used this motor to date. I purchase the motor to put on a new 20' Bennington that came in in January. My dealer and my son assured me the motor would work well. The other reason I chose the motor is that I only had storage for a single battery, and a larger motor requires two batteries. Mick

I just overheated mine the other day, pumping 4 tires from nearly 0 pressure. Let it sit for a few hours, while I did other things, came back and finished the last tire.

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

This motor has a thermal cutoff switch if safety temperature is exceeded. Not sure how long and under what conditions you are running the motor?

It fit on my slash 4x4 basically the same truck. But it didnt help much and the fans didnt take long to break. If you have a dremmel get this " HOBBYWING EZRUN RC Model 5V Cooling Fan & 36x55mm R/C Motor Heat sink" and cut to fit. It worked great for me

this may help. hoes maybe to short.just a guess. ck the volts to much power will make the motor run faster. if any of THESE will not work send it back. thanks

@ Marian Further consideration.Tip on ALL electric motors (IF they get over heated once, they start to die. they will run for many hrs. after that OK but the process has started) Using it to cut pipe should be done with great care, watching the sparks direction and origin. Not to start fires and not to place the blade in a bind, causing the motor to overheat. (I always wear glasses). I can not recommend altered apps. of this tool, until the operator has become very proficient with the control of operation and is braced for blade grab.

Yup...make sure you get the right kv motor though and use proper gearing to ensure no overheating of the esc or motor

It is free standing and requires 6" clear space behind it so motor won't overheat. Mine never has cooled adequately except in winter time. If you purchase, keep boxes around since they claim any returns have to be in original packing .... And you must also pay shipping on return.

If you still need the shaft diameter shoot me an email. I'm away from the house at the moment but email is brcbrat@yahoo.com The fan motor can work in either direction and it works better than the original motor. Never goes into overheat mode.

I just looked at the Motor Head. It says .8 Amps I hope That helps you. It has 4 settings regarding heat. 4 is the warmest but not hot at all.
