Re: Does motor temp affect performance?

This is more of a side note and won't fix the overheating issues, but may help you get better performance from your drivetrain.

I've heard that if your wires are longer than they need to be then the resistance of the wires can start to affect the voltage (at high amp conditions like pushing match) that the motor is receiving by a decent amount and cause you to not preform as well.



If you do add a heatsink and it doesn't work as well don't forget to try it with thermal paste.
