Well now I'm about ready to give up... Today My heat problems seem to have migrated to my ESC. I was running a 14T pinion and was only able to get about 2000mah out of my 4500 packs before I got severe cogging and the esc would shut down. I thought it was lvc but I wonder if it was thermalling. I touched the esc and burned my finger pretty bad on the motor connectors. The heat gun read 200 on the esc and 150 on the motor. The motor wires were really hot. The battery wires were warm but not hot.

Same setup as before but I never saw over 165 on my esc. Even when my fan died it only hit 170. The same batteries run fine in my mbx5r conversion with my 1512 1800 and mmpro.

Another odd thing, my 1800 only hits 160 and esc 140 in the mbx with 10* timing, but the same motor and same gearing but 0 timing in the mp9 with the MMM the motor hit 190 and esc 160. Also no cogging issues at all in the mbx.

I'm going to try the mmpro in my mp9 next weekend and see what happens. I'm beginning to suspect my MMM is the culprit in all this.
