I did run the Basic 2700 with the 22.2 volts for an extended period of time - but it's COLD here in Chicago and I was running it in first gear the whole time. I was kicking up MAJOR snow rooster tails. The flying snow also kept the motor cool. At the end of 10 minutes, nothing was hot - but the batteries - 110 degrees F.

For racing purposes, I would NOT recommend a small motor. You need surface area and cooling fins and maybe even a fan. In addition, you want to keep the motor in the most efficient RPM range - about 30-40 k rpm. AT 22.2 volts, I think the basic XL1600 or maybe the XL2000 is better suited for long races. BTW, I think I ran for a good 10-15 minutes and I only used 1/2 the capacity!!!
