That's how I blew a 10XL on my Revo. The CD I used had too-thin oil in it and unloaded the motor too much. Overheated and after a while had really crappy speed AND really hot motor. Took the CD out and replaced the motor with a 9XL and no problems since. I just couldn't find the happy medium for diff oil that would offer better on-power cornering while not unloading the front.
