ESC Cooling Fan: 25mm x 25mm x 7mm
The cooling fan is the primary component responsible for forced convection over the ESC heat sink. If the fan's RPM drops due to dust ingress or bearing wear, the heat generated by the MOSFETs during high-current 3S operation cannot be dissipated, leading to the thermal protection circuit tripping. Replacing the fan restores the required airflow to maintain the ESC within its nominal operating temperature range.

Spektrum Firma 100A Brushless Smart ESC
Frequent thermal cycling or 'hard braking' can cause micro-fractures in the solder joints or degrade the thermal interface material between the MOSFETs and the internal heat sink. If the cooling fan is functional but the unit still enters shutdown, the ESC’s internal resistance has likely increased, or the logic board's thermistor has lost calibration, necessitating a full assembly replacement.

15T Pinion Gear (Mod 0.8)
Thermal shutdown is often caused by 'over-gearing' relative to the driving surface (e.g., tall grass or sand). Reducing the pinion gear tooth count changes the mechanical advantage, reducing the torque load on the motor and subsequently lowering the current draw from the ESC. This reduction in current directly decreases the heat produced by the power stage according to the Law of Joule Heating.
