I received my 8-cell pack today so I put it on my peak charger while I soldered a Dean’s plug on my stock RX unit. Took it out side and it is definitely faster. My stock motor with an alloy mount is getting pretty hot as well as my RX unit. I checked it with my heat gun I use on my nitro trucks. When others check the temperature of the motor do they check the outside of the case or the heat coming out the vent holes? Motor Temperature on the case was around 150 degrees and when I check it at the vent holes it was about 200 degrees or a little better. My RX unit was about 140 degrees. I do have to admit I was running in fairly tall grass for this little thing but it did not stop and ran well. If I change to a Rocket motor will it make as much difference as the 8 cell did to the stock motor?
