Thats good news at least.
Just Friday night i was running the 1515/2.5D on 5s and 20/46 gearing and the GRP 3.9" tires in my 8.5lb buggy. I was able to run an entire 5000mah pack non stop on a parking lot oval course (Full throttle, hard brake, turn, repeat...) and at the end of the pack the motor was 140F and the MGM 16018 was 99F. It was about 75 degrees outside. So the ESC wasn't even working hard.
BUT... I had the spool up speed set the .69 sec If I went less than that I got cut outs every time I punched it. Even at .69 sec I got the occasional cut out. At 1.3sec spool up timing there was no cutting out at all.
You will be drawing more amps with the 2700kv motor vs my 1700kv motor, but I think heat wise there should be plenty of head room based on the very low temps I was getting. The only question I have is the cut out issue. Will the higher kv motor make that happen more frequently?
