Every good motor that's pushing some power is going to give off some heat.
For example:
Let's take 1000 watt motor that's 90% efficient. This means that all the time it's at the 1000 watt level (WOT) it's going to "bleed off" 100 watts of heat.
Running a smooth can motor with no heat sinking doesn't leave that heat much place to go. So, it builds up.
I've been having great success with the 36-60-2000kv in an E Revo gearing 18/52.
I'm using the Novak Heat Sink with it on 4S. I really believe I could run this all day long with no heat issues at all.
50 degrees outside and I can barely detect any heat at all coming from the motor.
If you have room, give it a try.
I do intend to try this on 5S AND on 6S. This will be the real test!
