Yeah, those bonded rotor motors arent the best. Novak EX 10.5/bonded, fresh from warranty service (last one fell apart)...installed in a car with not good airflow around the motor but geared per Novak rec's. Motor thermal'ed through the overheat protection these things have (wasnt too suprised). Little bugger cogs whacking the throttle open now probably due to a bit of demag, so its in the junkpile now. That ESC runs other motors perfectly still.

The Novak sintered stuff is pretty nice, 8.5, 5.5, and 3.5 (110 amp fireball, lol) are good. My 8.5 on 3S geared up a bit should be nice in my currently 2S/3.5 powered speed buggy.

Keep the reports coming guys...I like being absolutely sure of things before I buy a MM and a 3S battery.
