The continuous ratings are more useful in planes where the prop load is very consistent. Prop to the continuous rating and the motor won't overheat.
I don't doubt you cut the ESC out with that motor. Im actually surprised you are getting such top speeds without overheating it.
I can fit 5 parallel strands of 24awg wire in the 30 series stator, with 4 winds per slot dLRK style. 8 turn with 5 strands.

8 turns with 5 strands?
What do you estimate the kv as being on that with a Delta versus a Wye termination?
