For your heat problem, before your have to remove the metal plate on the front of the motor and maybe take a smaller pinion on the motor.

at the moment i have a 26t pinion and a 64t spur, would going down to a 21t pinion be too much or a good drop?

That's about 20% gear ratio reduction, sounds alright to me.
Gonna pop even more wheelies that way though.

And by reduction I mean increase of course.

wheelies are always fun, im going to try and get a 3d printer soon so i will just make a wheely bar

here is a battery tray i am designing so when i get a 3d printer i can put the battery on the chassis
Battery tray ( click to view in 3D )

plans for future upgrades, in order of doing

1. big servo/alu servo arm
2. 5800mah 3s lipo
3. alu c hubs/bearing combo
4. original shell and 3d printed battery tray
5. 3d printed wheely bar
6. alu steering parts
7. paddle tires and skis
8. alu turnbuckles for suspension
9. liquid cooling of esc and motor

i lost the center front diveshaft
time to look for one on ebay

i am so surprised how well this is standing up to my punishment
full speed roll overs, slamming the drive line, burnouts, wheelies, jumps, dirt, gravel, EVERYTHING!
the shell is getting trashed but the chassis is perfectly fine, just a bit scratched
imagine rally car crashes where they just keep cartwheeling and smashing, that's what i do to this thing hehehe
i'll upload some more running vids soon. probably start after i write this
all of the remaining windows are smashed except one. it's surviving
the servo saver helps heaps, if i didn't have it the servo would surely be destroyed.
since i lost the front wheel driving, i am doing heaps of burnouts and turned the yellow spikey rim/tires bald within 2 packs. i will be using the set for drifting when the dogbone gets here.
the new black rims/tires are holding up well to everything i throw at them.
i found the sweet spot for wheelies. i limit the range of the throttle stick with my finger then i flick the stick full, it wheelies and scrapes on the rear bumper then falls back down onto all 4 wheels, no more flipping
i'm waiting for my battery to explode, its squished i got it like that off a friend, they didn't want it blowing up in one of their models
i hold the battery in with velcro, great stuff i only had it fall out once, at the skate park after landing a heavy jump. but i thing it wasn't put in well then

new video

the jeep shell is dying, there are cracks everywhere and one of the meccano mounts have died

should i get this?
