Default INVEST. SMOKING 13.5 motor

After cooking some 13.5t motors i have investignated the wires of this motors.
Surprise, the windings of this motors are made out of 4 wires and when I measured the copperwire I found 2 wires 0.5 diam. and 2 of 0.6 diam.
I am not agree with this construction specially when you use stock programs for HW ESC,it is ask for smoking motors, because of this the amps will not be equal through all the windings, specially when the winds are not equal wound.
After this I wind a motor by myself with equal thickness wires and tested this on the track and not a big surprise that the motor stay very cool (overgeared for testing) and so much more punch than the motor with factory winds.

To be fair to the manufacturers I have found this kind of wires in SP,GM,CS,Doktor Speed motors.
I hope that manufacturers also be fair to us.

Had someone also this expirience, let me know
