1515 2200kv heat issues in buggy

[What's_nitro?]

I just read the whole thread, and it sounds like your motor was bad from the start. A shorted winding in a motor WILL cause short runtimes/hot components/cogging no matter what your gearing/voltage/ESC settings. A bad ESC could have the same effect, but I think if it were the ESC you would've seen smoke by now.

Edit- Hmm actually you did say you tried another motor/ESC right? Is it possible they might be bad, too?

This is my second MMM 2200 combo. The first was replaced under warranty, the esc came apart and tore the wires from the board and the motor was testing out to 2700kv and running hot all the time.

My current symptoms were a bit different. The motor was fine and leveled off at about 140* until about halfway through the pack it would suddenly heat up and keep climbing to over 200 by lvc. Then I started getting cogging and power loss at about that same point but i had a heatsink and fan on the motor to prevent damage but esc temps were still under 160. Now the motor doesn't heat up because the esc is thermalling at about that same halfway point all of a sudden.
