i am wondering though. i have been hearing that if the load is too light that a motor will run hot. could it be that the reason my lehner ran hot was becuase the load was too small? i mean, i was running a lehner 2250 in a truggy. i thought this would be fine but i dont know. any thoughts?

Definately, especially if it was a Hi Amp like yours... Have you ever measured the amp draw from your setup... Ryu James, I had tried your 2250 in a 5th scale on 6S and the motor was not hot at all.. only the batteries and ESC were... Only reason I knew this was my first 2280 Hi-Amp I had it in an E-maxx, and I couldn't figure out why it was getting hot so fast.. but after some reading and testing, I know that the Hi-Amp motors are just amazing. If you had gotten the regular 2250, you're setup probably would've been cool.. Had a 1950-7-HA in a Cen Matrix Truggy, and it was great.. no heat issues at all...

Back in the day I had a 1930-5/ 9 wind... Had it soldered for 9 Wind and ran 18 cells on it... it had no heat issues powering a 15Lb Maxx back then...
