We talked about running an endurance race with 10 min heats; teams of 2 based on either El Piloto or Slot.it classification.
Now, the issue with the red motors getting super hot and losing performance is actually a nice challenge; a team would have to balance speed vs. longevity. If you use a taller gear ratio, the motor wont get so hot but you also loose speed.
I would suggest to race 10 min. heats every 3 minutes; if your motor burns out, you can change it on green.
LET’S DO THIS !!!!
I will bring some computer fans to cool down the cars between heats.
