It's not the sensorless aspect that makes the 5700 overheat. The 5700 is simply too high a kv to use effectively in the Slash. You have to gear wayyy down, to the point where the pinion is itty-bitty. From experience, 3s on a 3000-3500kv motor is best. I use 4s on a 50mm long 540-style 2200kv motor, and I don't think temps have ever gotten more than merely warm.
