Voltage is not the issue. It smoked because his LiPos were under-rated for the motor. 2200mAh (assuming a 30C rating) is only 66A continuous. The 8XL is gonna eat them for breakfast, and ask for seconds! CC has said repeatedly that under-rated batteries cause EM spikes in the ESC and will fry its brains. If the motor blew there would have been more than a "puff" of smoke....
