I think it all goes back to gearing and speed. A 50MM on an Esavage is a bit small, but what if it were only geared for 25mph. You would have more torque than the original setup and about the same speed. The problem because that people go with the 50MM, decide its ok to run 6S or gear it for 50mph on 4S and then you are going to have problems.
I think the bottom line is if you know what you are doing you wont Smoke the MMM and you wont have a problem. 99% of the people out there dont know how to do these calcs or have a good understanding about running these systems within a sweet spot for voltage, motor size, kv.
I'm glad the castle came out with the combos and put restrictions on battery and motor. It helps everyone else have a successful run without the smoke.
