I run off road 10th and 8th scale electrics and none of my motors get over 160.
The SPX is
overgeared. I just replied to a similar question right before your post. Am I invisible?
SPX and SXX works best if you almost undergear the motor. Less ampdraw means more effective ESC boost/timing and therefore cooler faster motor that doesnt burn up. Your friend is going about it all wrong with the new LRP's, sorry.
