As previously mentioned, a MM will heat very quickly on 4s. Even on 3s, on a 1/8 vehicle it will likely heat up. A fan makes a big difference, but when I had my MM, I found it to heat very quickly even with a large fan blowing above it. 50mph is definitely too tall a gearing and the Feigao may be too inefficient to run the MM on a 1/8 vehicle. Definitely use shorter gearing, but then you give up a lot of speed to keep the MM cool.
