I'm thinkin you could have dropped that motor temp a little by gearing it up a few teeth. I find the XL motors can run much longer before overheating if you find that perfect "sweet spot" on the gearing. They are much more sensative to both over and under gearing. The Neu and Lehner motors just have larger usable gearing ranges before heat becomes an issue. But if you get the gearing just right, they can run a good long time without getting to the critical temp range.

I have a 9XL on 5s that I can run just as hard for much longer than a few minutes before the temps get that high.


But I do agree. Most brushles setups are WAY overpowered. Much more power than can possible be put to the ground.
