Anyone experiencing fade on the V16 25.5 motor with 12.3mm high torque rotor?

Running 8 minute mains in F1 on a small 80x40 black carpet track. Motor never overheated, always running with a fan. Starts off great the first 3 or 4 minutes, then fade is quite noticeable. Never exceeds 150F. I'm getting fade as much as 3 or 4 tenths off my last 2 minutes versus my first 2 minutes. A bit more than I'd like.... I upgraded to a higher capacity shorty battery too so I know that isn't the issue. Timing about 55 deg on endbell and 3.07 gearing.
