More than likely just too much voltage for that kv rating- 4 pole motors prefer (in principle, or my head atleast...) to be revved lower & geared taller to make your speed and power really. I think you'd be better of using 4s lipo and gear higher, or choose a lower kv motor (~1800kv region) for use with 5s to reduce current draw.
