Anybody have any heat issues with the Mamba esc, wraith combo the esc gets hotter than the motor runnin 7 or 8 cell normal setting on esc. should I reset the esc. both front & rear diffs un hooked from driveline spin smoothly center dif also I think I'm runnin a 15 tooth pinion and atomic gears.I got a full alloy mini T with a Mamba paired with a 6800 and its never even gotton warm :confused: any advise please

The 15t pinion is the problem. Stock is 13t. You should go to a pinion around 10-11t. The Mini Inferno is almost twice as heavy as a Mini-T, it needs much lower gearing. A heat sink will be very helpful too.

id update the esc to the newest version. i did it to mine awhile ago and all cogging went away and it ran cooler as well.

I would still highly recommend an 11t pinion. A 13t is still a bit tall for the Mamba.

oops i forgot to add that. id run a 11 or 12 tooth with the wraith depending on your settup(batts, complete settings on mamba esc, ect)

the wraith7k also is a lot of load for the mamba25 ESC. i would get a higher amp draw ESC like the quark33. it will lower both temps because the esc won't have to work so hard and the motor won't be under powered.
