Trust me, I know the motor overheats but I'm hoping I can get a pinion small enough to make it not overheat. Wasn't overly quick though IMO.
I did try it in my brothers MBX5R and it got to 100 degrees (C) but I'd say the HSP will be a bit lighter and hopefully have a smaller pinion. Will see how I go I guess.

Xerun 150A ESC
I just picked up the Xerun 150a ESC. It's connected to the 4465 Xerun 2000kv motor. A couple of funny quirks are 1. the auto cell detection does not work for 3s, it assumes it's 4s and then it only runs at 50% i.e. cutoff mode. To fix this I manually set the cell count. 2. When I run it on 2s the BEC cuts out at the slightest throttle and my steering stops working.
It's not enough of an issue for me to send it back b/c I mainly run this on 3/4s but has anyone else had these problems with it? Should I be concerned there are other issues that will haunt me down the road?

I'm worried about the ESC, but because the motor is what it is, I'm not all too worried about it. I just wanted to know the ESC could handle it fine.
I'd really love to know why you're running that combo on 2s/3s. Why didn't you get the 80A/2250KV combo?
IMO, that combo is made for 4s and higher.

Not that is should matter one bit but since you asked, this is in a traxxas summit. When I want to let my kids (still young and learning) drive I put a 2s and put it in low gear and have no worries. Nonetheless, the ESC shouldn't act funny. Do you have an answer to why it does?

My particular 150A version seems to have a struggling BEC when using 2s. With 3s I have to manually set the cell count. I have a 60A Xerun that has been flawless. It may just be the 150A with these issues or (most likely) just mine. Maybe we'll hear from other 150A owners to find out their experience.
