Gear down. Are you running the stock tires? It also could be your driving style, I dunno. Maybe you're a little harder on your stuff then other people? Not saying you are hard on stuff or that's a bad thing, but just throwing that out there as a possibility.

The gearing. Traxxas needs to advertize. To help boost sales, they advertize the truck will go 60mph+. The only way to do that is by gearing a little too high. Some people won't have issues and some people will.

Also, if your motor turns out to be damaged by the heat, you could probably send it into traxxas. It's not a fun or quick thing to do, but it might be your best option.
