Put a larger pinion on it. Go up a few teeth, you probably do not have it loaded enough to get it making full power. I have the 1600kv motor in a hyper8 and on 6s with gearing for 50mph it runs cool with tons of power. I do need to wire up some better lipos, the 2170 25c packs i have are a bit taxed!

Keep in mind that a 2000kv motor on 4s is only going to get to 30k rpm or so. 5s would definitely wake it up, but I am not sure if i would run the MM on 5s. Some have success other do not. Plus pinions are cheaper than lipos.

What are the specs on your lipo, mfg, etc?
