Don't forget the pin modification. ICRC you were the one who brought that one to light, and got a ton of flack for your trouble.

If it works for you, awesome! It's certainly easier on the slipper.
Oddly, that was exactly the opposite result I had, except the smoother acceleration. My 4.5 550 runs about 120 at 10 minutes, my 6.5 540 goes thermal in five minutes and isn't as quick. User Cameron Kellogg has had good luck with 540 motors, but his key to getting them to live is the Yeah Racing YA-0180 fan for additional cooling. I haven't tried it at the track yet. It has enough output to suck a small poodle through it when I run it off the receiver.
Cameron runs his off of the 8.4v lipo!
