elec rc help??

[Evil3]

I got a mini-t off motoxer, and this is my first elec rc so i need the help.

Ok one: is it bad if the motor in it gets pretty hot??
Two: i heard that keeping it driving at full speed is bad, true?
And three: Whatever else you guys think i should know about elec rc's

Thanks for the help

#1 yes it is normal for an electric motor to get hot at the end of a run, but if it is too hot then it will destroy the in-side of the motor (armature, magnets, etc). One way you can combat that is to play with gearing, and check to make sure the gear mesh isn't set too tight. Also do you have a temp reading of the motor after you get done running?

#2 it’s just like a nitro engine, if you run at full throttle for too long then something might break or it will over heat the motor which can lead to the motor burning up. So yes it is bad to run at full speed all the time.

#3 I don't know what you want to know about (that means ask away I might be able to help you).
