The motors are about 170 degrees when this happens. I changed the ESC/motor and it runns great with the same gears with the motor temp of 130 degrees at the end of the race. I'm thinking to much power to the motor. I can adjust the max amps to the motor on the ESC but am looking for any suggestions to fix this or other people that have had this problem.

Thanks
