When you say over heating, is it really over heating? 150 deg is ok for brushless motors.
Are you running it with the Audrino or are you controlling the ESC with the Audrino?
If you are running it directly that is your problem because of the phases.
If this is what you want to do, then I would switch to brushed motors just for sake of being easy on a prototype build.
What size Brushless motor is it?
BTW the + increases RPM, the - increases torque.
Thats the thing tho, there is nothing connected to it. each motor is connected to a wheel, so no gears involved. however in this case, there is no load on the motor and its getting hot af. im controlling it with arduino. I have another motor wil runs perfectly fine, no heat. the other motor, it gets too hot to hold (nothing connected to it so i used my hand to keep is up)
