Just a small update...ran my other T4 today with an Orion Vortex 5.5 Motor on the MM ESC. Same type of weather conditions as my post above and same type of driving and location.

Motor Temp: ~145F
ESC Temp: ~130F
Geared 18:87 with Hole Shot/Edge Tires

Top speed was 38.3mph on the GPS which correlates very well to the motor being 6100kv unloaded (puts it around 58-5900kv loaded to get that speed).

After having now run the GM 7.5 and Orion 5.5, I'll never buy a Feigao 380C or 540S motor again for running on 2S. I am extremely happy with the lack of cogging and the semi-cool temps I got with these setups. Granted they're not the fastest in the world, but I have room to gear up without a problem if I want more speed.
