Gee I never have burnt out any starter box motors in 7 yrs of doing Nitro.
I once saw 2 motors in a box go up in smoke but the idiot was trying to turn over a locked up motor.
As long as the belts are tensioned up correctly and use a little common sense they should last a long time.
My box uses one 775 seize motor and is as good as as new.
Li Po's are only .4 of a volt higher . Thats nothing.
My mate has the same motor in a boat with 18 cells up it and is still fine after a yr.
