I had that motor in a slash and it's TOO much. I had to gear it 13/90 to get it cool. I still had to work on throttle input. When you constantly stab the throttle on this motor it's gonna run warm.

I run a 10.5 system and could handle a little more power, my buddy runs a Castle 4600kv and that's pushing the driveability limits with a stock tire, another buddy is running a 5700kv and it's totaly useless on our track which is nice and loomy to help the slash tire get grip.
More on topic it's a 7700kv, it's gonna get hot, I'm suprised you got almost 10min. out of it. My buddy has a 66 Nova with 700+ horespower, it's a blast to cruise across town but it doesn't like long trips either.
I'm not bashing on anybody but there is always a compromise..speed=heat=less runtime....
