230/231 was released because it was deemed 'safe' for the user. 318 is still being tested by some of the drivers. Just because there is a newer version of a software doesn't mean it is safe for the end user...if you have read our previous posts, some of us have blown 3-4 motors testing new software. Im sure you wouldn't want to do that now would you?

The fun way is to blow up the rotor, but usually if you overheat the coils they weld themselves together and short out.

A Mass smoke ball emits from underneath your bodyshell, you can tell your motor is about to cook when you have excessive drag brake from the motor if you didn't have any dragbrake set into the speedie. That's what happened to mine.

wow... i use fdr 7,1 DMTS at 5 (15°) and DRRS at 6 on a circuit with a 25m of stright and rest is medium speed (at the end is a medium tech track).
But i never had the motor over 55°C (SP v3 10,5) and the esc over 22°C
For me you are using a little bit too much AMTS value...i suggest you to start with something more around at 15° and reduce a little bit your FDR (may be start at about 7,0 but depend on your track size)
Forgot to say i use the endbell timing over the motor a little bit less than +10 (i can say at about +8)

2 reasons come to mind:
More efficient/ less voltage drop as there are less solder joints
Less chance of a bad joint or if they get hot unsoldering and coming off mid race.
Its hard to see why anyone uses them actually.
