Running 5s is pretty hard on the MM. I've ran mine w/ 5s since Oct., but I did let my wife drive it for a minute and she managed to smoke it. ;)
It is insanely fast tho. When I was driving it I didn't have any problems, but I didn't drive in thick grass or any really challenging terrain either. (Late fall I did run it on the dead, brown grass w/o probs, summer heat and thick grass is a no-no.)
4s is a great amount of power, and 5s is really nice, but is def on the edge of what the little 1/10 esc can handle. Best bet is to go 4S or wait for a bigger controller for 5S+.
