I would try to find smaller gears coming from the motor to help control heat.
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.
i found the problem, i need one of the motors to b reversed so i switched 2 wires while in sensored mode. according to a few helpful people in this fourm, that seemed to be the problem. im also using an arduino
my next problem is to find out how to get 100% reverse :/ they r telling me to get a programming card. but what does a programming card so? if i know how a programming card does it, i can replicate it using the arduino or something
