Hey Steve, do you guys notice fade in the 13.5 motors after ~4 minutes when they're geared on the very edge? The motor is FAST but then fades pretty hard. I'm using LiPo, so I don't think it's the battery. I've heard a couple of different theories about the heat reducing its efficiency, or the stator getting fatigued, but no hard information yet. I'm using the sintered rotor, no heat sink, and my GTB without the fan. The ESC is never above 100, and the motor comes off around 150-155.
